About this property
Tucked away on a cul-de-sac in the storied celebrity enclave of Nichols Canyon, this circa 1950s mid-century estate is a timeless private sanctuary sited on just under an acre of nature-embraced land on a street to street lot. Mature trees and native landscaping envelop the property, creating a sense of complete seclusion, yet the best of Los Angeles is just minutes away. Spanning over 2,500 square feet, this 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath residence opens to an expansive floor plan wrapped in walls of glass that flood the interior with natural light, honoring the ease and integrity of authentic mid-century design while offering the conveniences of modern comfort. Highlights of this architectural gem include engineered wide-plank European oak flooring, multiple skylights, a decorative fireplace, French doors throughout, an open kitchen, renovated bathrooms, and a large laundry room with extra storage and utility sink. The spacious chef's kitchen features a breakfast bar, quartz counter tops, custom tile backsplash and premium appliances including Bosch, Viking and Sub-Zero. Guest bedrooms enjoy their own dedicated patios, while the primary suite is a true retreat offering an indulgent hotel spa-style bathroom complete with a steam shower, dual vanities, Washlet commode, and a wall of closets. The converted garage with polished concrete flooring serves as a flex space ideal for an office, media room, or guest room. Outside, rustic railroad-tie steps and winding trails meander through the Zen hillside, connecting the lush tropical pool area to a bocce ball court overlooking peaceful canyon views. This sprawling property offers multiple inviting outdoor spaces perfect for poolside entertaining, al fresco dining, movie nights under the stars, or lively gatherings with family and friends. Positioned between the legendary nightlife of the Sunset Strip and the bustling shops and eateries of Studio City, this is a property where canyon tranquility and city pulse coexist separated only by a scenic drive. A rare opportunity to own a beautifully envisioned mid-century estate in the Hollywood Hills.
