Set just east of Laurel Canyon Blvd and buffered from Mulholland Drive's famous curves by an island of greenery, this gated home offers privacy indoors and out and is an LA oasis straddling the ridge line between West Hollywood and Studio City. This sprawling residence, on two lots, is professionally landscaped and has had thoughtful expansions. It offers a floor plan with destination areas throughout the house, including a work-from-home configuration. With 6 bedrooms and 6 baths, this comfortable home caters to a quiet lifestyle, yet easily transforms into an entertainer's dream. With a dining/living room offering floor to ceiling windows and doors, passage between the inside and outdoor pool and garden areas is a breeze. The remodeled kitchen includes vaulted ceilings, a center island with dining bar and a breakfast alcove with windows on 3 sides. There is a pass-through bar area, walk-in pantry and easy access to the 2-car garage and laundry/utility room. A dedicated media room off the center hallway is perfect for movie night or sports gatherings. 3 ensuite bedrooms complete the lower level, one of which is configured as an executive office space with a nearby assistant's desk. The 2nd floor primary retreat is a sanctuary unto itself that includes a fireplace, walk-in closet, lounging area and a spa-like bathroom outfitted with a steam shower and free-standing soaking tub with garden views. There are 2 additional bedrooms with a shared bath on the upper floor. This home is defined by its abundant light, garden views, natural wood finishes and high-end fixtures and appliances. Set amongst park-like grounds, this is secret LA at its best.
