About This Home

As of January 2024

Nestled on a quiet road, this romantic 1926 property is the epitome of Laurel Canyon living infused with French country charm. Inside, lavish natural light illuminates a meticulously renovated home featuring a welcoming tiled fireplace, elegant oak floors, beamed ceilings, and French doors and windows. The charming kitchen glows with marble countertops and European tiles. All ground level rooms open to a picturesque terrace with whimsical outdoor dining and seating areas under the canopy of a leafy California oak tree. The gated home features two en suite bedrooms, an office, a third bath with a clawfoot bathtub, a separate laundry room, and an array of smart technology. Plentiful storage spaces include closets and built-in bookshelves. The property's secret gem is a magical one-bedroom, one-bath caretaker's cottage, a private treetop retreat with canyon views and two outdoor terraces. The cottage has its own separate gated entrance and is a perfect home office, artist's studio, guest house or rental unit. Set in the Wonderland school district, this is a rare idyllic treasure on one of the canyon's most coveted streets.
