Description
Surrounded by mature cypress and open to sweeping canyon views, this fully reimagined Laurel Canyon compound brings together a four-bedroom main residence, a completely separate one-bedroom guest house, and a series of terraces extending through the hillside.The main house unfolds across warm, light-filled interiors with oak floors, grasscloth walls, sculptural lighting, and a rich mix of marble, brass, black lacquer, and poured concrete. Two living rooms create distinct places to gather, while the slate-blue kitchen opens to the dining room and the canyon beyond. The primary suite enjoys wide views across the hills and includes custom closets and a beautifully detailed bath with leaded glass windows, a fluted wood vanity, marble counters, brass fixtures, heated floors, a soaking tub, and a glass-enclosed shower. Three additional bedrooms complete the main residence. Formerly celebrity-owned, the property offers the privacy that has long drawn artists and public figures to Laurel Canyon. Discreet from the street and open toward the landscape, the home feels removed from the city while remaining minutes from the Sunset Strip, studios, and restaurants. Below the main residence, the guest house / adu has its own entrance, full kitchen, bedroom, bath, wraparound deck, and a striking sunroom enclosed in floor-to-ceiling glass. Terracotta floors and a crystal chandelier bring warmth and character, while uninterrupted canyon views surround the space. It functions beautifully as a private residence, office, studio, or accommodation for guests and extended family, and can also be reconnected to the main house. Outside, the property opens to a striking expanse of deep green canyon, with terraces descending through mature cypress and established landscaping. Each level brings a different relationship to the view: wide and open from the upper balconies, more secluded as the decks move into the trees, and completely private at the lawn and spa below. The canyon changes with the light throughout the day, while subtle exterior lighting and string lights extend the outdoor spaces into the evening. Sunset transforms the canyon, and when clouds drift down through the hills, the setting becomes almost otherworldly.
