About this home
Architectural pedigree. Soulful design. A private resort in the hills of Studio City. Designed in 1962 by Los Angeles architect Voldemar Ozolin, this iconic mid century residence is more than a home. It is a preserved piece of architectural history. Tucked into one of Studio City's most coveted pockets within the Carpenter School District, the property captures the essence of classic California modernism with light, volume, and effortless indoor outdoor living. Walls of glass dissolve boundaries between interior and exterior. Clean lines and warm materials create quiet sophistication. Nearly every room opens directly outdoors, allowing nature to become part of the daily experience. Spanning over 2,100 square feet, the four bedroom, three bathroom layout is both open and intentional. Two bedrooms on the main level and two upstairs create flexibility for guests, family, or creative space. Expansive balconies on both levels invite morning coffee at sunrise and golden hour gatherings at dusk. The living room is nothing short of breathtaking, a soaring great room with vaulted ceilings and dramatic walls of glass framing panoramic hillside views. The dining room fireplace adds intimacy and warmth, while the kitchen balances form and function with seamless connectivity to the home's gathering spaces. A built in office nook integrates work and design effortlessly. Custom blinds, upgraded hardwood flooring, and refined architectural details elevate the experience throughout. Outdoors, the property transforms into a true private retreat. A heated saltwater pool anchors the backyard, surrounded by multiple patios and terraced gardens that feel worlds away from city life. Mature fruit trees including lemon, lime, avocado, grapefruit, peach, orange, and loquat offer a year round harvest, while jasmine, rosemary, sage, basil, agave, and flax create a layered sensory landscape of fragrance and texture. The fully fenced grounds offer three gated access points plus an additional upper terrace with remarkable potential. Sustainability is seamlessly integrated with 19 solar panels totaling 6,555 watts, an upgraded 200 amp electrical panel, energy efficient systems, and a professionally developed hillside garden complete with irrigation and ambient lighting. Architecturally significant. Emotionally resonant. Rarely available. 3688 Buena Park Drive is not simply a residence. It is a legacy property. A design forward sanctuary in one of Studio City's most desirable enclaves where timeless architecture meets modern California living.
