The Abbey Founder David Cooley Lists Beverly Hills Midcentury Home for $7.4M

David Cooley, the founder of the renowned bar The Abbey in West Hollywood, has put his midcentury home in Beverly Hills' Trousdale Estates on the market for $7.4 million. This single-level residence spans 4,000 square feet and was originally crafted in 1960 by architect Marvin Berman, a disciple of Richard Neutra. Cooley acquired the property three years ago and collaborated with LA designer Chad Waterhouse to transform its interior, furnishings, and landscaping. The home boasts four bedrooms, four bathrooms, terrazzo flooring, wood paneling, and stone pillars. Notable features include a family room with a wet bar, a formal dining area with geometric wallpaper, a kitchen equipped with Viking appliances, and a living room showcasing a travertine fireplace. The outdoor space includes a swimming pool, fire pit, and a sculptural fountain. The listing is held by Rochelle Maize of Nourmand & Associates. Additionally, Cooley owns a midcentury ranch in Malibu, purchased from Emma Stone in 2022, as well as a custom retreat in Coachella Valley called the Night House.
