Description
Perched above the street and screened by mature foliage, this mid-century Laurel Canyon treehouse is a peaceful retreat where architecture and nature meet. Built for inspiration, tucked away from view yet moments from the pulse of the city, the design nods to classic mid-century design with subtle aesthetic touches reminiscent of Frank Gehry - skylights, warm natural materials, and light that shifts beautifully throughout the day - creating a seamless connection between indoors and the surrounding canyon landscape. Inside, the house offers three bedrooms and two baths, thoughtfully arranged for easy living - lovely flow of airy common spaces, with 2 bedrooms on the main level and the primary suite and sunroom occupying the entire upper floor. Outside, on an over 9000sf lot, the generous and expansive deck and yard areas are ideal for morning coffee, dinners al fresco, play and rest. From every vantage point, you see layers of green and sky - offering privacy, calm, and inspiration. This is more than a home, it's a creative haven, a peaceful escape, and a rare opportunity to live immersed in the beauty, spirit and wonder of the canyon. There is a detached 2 car garage on street level and ample street parking. Wonderland School District.
