About This Home

Nestled in the lower WeHo hills, this spacious sanctuary boasts abundant natural light, luxurious amenities, and ample privacy. At the gateway to Laurel Canyon overlooking the Sunset Strip, this 102 y.o. Spanish colonial exudes Old Hollywood glamour (with the Chateau Marmont and Wright's Storer House as neighbors), while concealing a dreamy Mediterranean garden oasis behind its gates. The expansive, sun-drenched space of the 2 bd/2ba main house is made for entertaining, with plentiful skylights, windows, and french doors that open to terracotta patios from every room. Offered furnished in a modern, clean design aesthetic that playfully integrates organic shapes & rich fabrics with lovingly preserved vintage elements. New parquet herringbone oak floors are topped with hand-loomed wool rugs. A 1920s Arts & Crafts mantlepiece houses a rebuilt turn-key fireplace. An array of breathtaking chandeliers, wrought iron fixtures, and exposed mahogany beams give an elegantly cheeky nod to Gothic revival. The den has custom wall-to-wall soundproofing that also spans the 14' ceiling. Closets abound. Spacious walk-in showers in both baths and a luxurious soaking tub off the primary. Restored solid marble countertops throughout, incl. the kitchen with its sub-zero fridge, convection oven, and 2nd gas fireplace. The one bedroom with full kitchen guest house opens onto a large tiled pool & in-ground hot tub.
