I have seen Steven Aaron on “Selling LA,” and I was curious what his home is like?
—Vincent Leonpacher, Austin, Texas

Aaron, 50, actually has two homes, and they are very different, but they both satisfy his interest in character homes and notable architecture.

The associate manager at Keller Williams Beverly Hills lives in a 1930s, French-style duplex in the Fairfax Village area of Los Angeles, which he has decorated with purchases from vintage furniture and resale consignment shops, many of which are located in Palm Springs, Calif., where he has his second home.

“I did a lot of buying from those shops so my L.A. home is very eclectic,” says the Los Angeles native, who grew up and attended school in the Beverly Hills area. “It supports and honors the integrity of the architecture but yet is very eclectic. I like it to be comfortable.”

His second home is classic, mid-century, modern and located in Palm Springs. It was designed by Palmer & Kreisel and built in 1965.

“I enjoy going from something that is character to something that has very clean walls of glass,” Aaron says. “[The décor] is more collected. It is more curated.”

Aaron makes the drive between the two homes as often as he can, and he frequently cruises to the desert community in one of the Cadillacs from his 1960s classic collection, which includes a ‘66 Coupe de Ville and a ‘67 Eldorado.

“Cars have been a passion since I was a little boy,” he says. “I still have my Hot Wheels collection from when I was a kid. My addiction started very young. It isn’t something that came along with real estate. I am from an immigrant family and growing up in the ’60s and ’70s, my parents lived the American dream. I grew up around beautiful, stylish cars and lots of Cadillacs, so it was always a happening when my parents or aunts and uncles got a car. They were of modest means from Eastern Europe and really lived the American dream.”
