Real Estate exclusive gimme shelter‘Suicide Squad’ director asks $2.99M for lovingly decorated LA home with stained glass windows sourced from European churches

Add The California Post on GoogleHollywood director David Ayer has curated his 99-year-old Silver Lake home like a film set — and it’s now on the market for $2.99 million, Gimme Shelter can reveal.
From the driveway laid with bricks salvaged from the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, to the exquisite courtyard, and hand-carved front doors from an ancient Afghan temple — with wood thought to be 800 years old — the gated Spanish villa is a curator’s cinematographic dream.
“The house was a creative outlet,” Ayer told Gimme. “It became a beloved project — a slow curation of time and wood, and brick and metal,” he added.

Known for directing gritty LA films and more, including “Fury,” “End of Watch,” “Suicide Squad,” “The Beekeeper,” and “A Working Man,” Ayer also wrote screenplays including “Training Day,” which won Denzel Washington an Oscar.
The gated Spanish villa at 1615 Redcliff St. is in the heart of an enclave known for its boho-chic residents and creative community.

Ayer bought the three-bedroom, two-bath home, which comes with a detached studio, for $1.15 million in 2014 — and, he said, it has been an inspiration ever since.
House details that inspire include “rainbows of light in the morning from the stained glass,” and from the teracotta lions “guarding” the garden.
“May it inspire more art,” Ayer said.

“David approached this home the way he approaches a film — with an obsessive attention to provenance and detail,” said Juliette Hohnen of Douglas Elliman, who shares the listing with Erica DeBear, of the Rise Group at Real Brokerage.
“The level of intention is incredibly rare. You feel it the moment you walk through the gate. Silver Lake has always attracted buyers who would rather own something one-of-a-kind than something that looks like everything else on the market,” Hohnen added.

Ayer said he worked with talented artisans to create his vision, which includes stained-glass windows from Poland, a German cathedral and other historic European buildings.
The wrought-iron light fixures are both custom and vintage. There are also chandeliers and a gate pulled from a Beverly Hills estate.

In addition, the dining room floor was made with pine original to the house, removed, re-milled and reinstalled on a diagonal.
The vintage Spanish tiles include “rare California racetrack patterns and black tile from the 1930s,” as well as Moroccan tile and hand-painted work.

The property includes a finished garage, which serves as a “hangout space,” and a detached studio with a kitchen and bath that opens to a covered patio, and a carved wooden cabana for yoga and meditation.
Inside, the main house comes with an open chef’s kitchen that features a vintage stove and farmer’s sink; it leads to a covered outdoor dining patio that is perfect for entertaining.
The main floor boasts a bedroom and bath, while upstairs there’s a den, a family room, an office and two additional bedrooms.

“You could spend an hour in this house and still be discovering things. That level of intention is rare, and you feel it the moment you walk through the gate,” Hohnen said.

Badenoch blasts 'moaning' female Labour MPs over Burnham jobs 'quota'
Kemi Badenoch has told Labour women to earn a job in Andy Burnham's Cabinet instead of demanding they are handed jobs because of their gender.
The Tory leader lashed out today amid reports that female MPs are demanding the de-facto new prime minister introduce a 50:50 gender split 'quota' in his government.
Amid reports that former foreign secretary David Miliband is being lined up to return to the role, possibly with his brother Ed as Chancellor, one female minister also complained that Burnham could not have 'more Milibands than women' in the top posts.
But in a scathing article in the Times today Mrs Badenoch told them to 'stop moaning' and get chosen on merit instead of retreating into 'more of the failed identity politics that is holding back our country'.
'There are many, many reasons why you shouldn't have any Milibands in the cabinet,' she said.
'But complaining that the boys haven't given them the right jobs or that the boys are taking all the jobs, just shows that Labour's women still don't get it.'
The idea of quotas was also attacked by Baroness Jacqui Smith, Labour's Skills Minister.
Asked by Times Radio if Mr Burnham should reserve jobs for women, she said: 'No, I think what Andy Burnham should be doing is building the very best team around him to change this country.'
A letter written by the Women's Parliamentary Labour Party has called on Mr Burnham to ensure a 50:50 split between men and women in government jobs
Amid reports that former foreign secretary David Miliband (above, right, in 2010) is being lined up to return to the role, possibly with his brother Ed as Chancellor, one female minister complained that Burnham could not have 'more Milibands than women' in the top posts
But Mrs Badenoch told them to pipe down and get chosen on merit instead of retreating into 'more of the failed identity politics that is holding back our country'
A letter written by the Women's Parliamentary Labour Party and seen by the BBC has called on Mr Burnham to ensure a 50:50 split between men and women in government jobs after he succeeds Sir Keir Starmer.
'We are asking you to demonstrate this change from day one and address the toxicity and misogyny within our own party and government,' it said.
Labour has never had a female leader, while the Conservatives have had three, and Mrs Badenoch urged the government to follow its meritocratic example.
'If you run a meritocracy, then you do not have to worry about jobs for the boys,' she wrote.
'Every woman who is a Conservative MP, every woman who has ever won the leadership, has had to fight to get where she is.
'By contrast, Labour women are demanding guarantees from Burnham. But the truth is he doesn't have to give any guarantees.
'If none of Labour's women are prepared to get their hands dirty and challenge him for the leadership, their demands are toothless.'
'In fact, it's quite revealing that the women's parliamentary Labour Party has written to Burnham asking him to commit himself to at least 50 per cent female ministers.
'This has nothing to do with meritocracy. It is yet more of the failed identity politics that is holding back our country.'
