About This Home
As of December 2023Perched atop Laurel Canyon, the compound at 2114 Kew Drive offers unparalleled panoramic views, earning it the endearing nickname, "The Crown Jewel." Throughout its history, this exceptional property has welcomed a distinguished array of Hollywood figures, including writers, directors, actors, novelists, and dancers. Meticulously restored, the estate comprises four distinct structures: the main two-bedroom/ 2 bath residence, a charming pool house, an A-Frame guest house with its own kitchenette, and a hillside bungalow named "El Nido de Nestor," paying homage to its former longtime tenant, the Academy Award-winning cinematographer Nestor Almendros.From the moment of entry, the property's allure is evident. Multiple outdoor seating areas, a tempting pool, and a rejuvenating spa beckon to residents and guests alike. The interior spaces, including the living area and dining room are thoughtfully oriented to provide awe-inspiring vistas of the landscaped surroundings and downtown Los Angeles. The generously sized kitchen, featuring a captivating architectural ceiling, seamlessly flows onto an outdoor dining patio, perfect for enjoying meals in the open air. The primary suite is a true retreat, complete with a comfortable sitting area. This sanctuary also offers direct access to the pool and spa, allowing inhabitants to bask in the enchanting views of starlit nights while immersed in water. With its meticulous restoration and layout, this property stands as a true treasure in Laurel Canyon, encapsulating a rich history of hosting some of the entertainment industry's most imaginative minds.
