About This Home
As of November 2023Along with life on the sand in Malibu, canyon living is the quintessential LA experience; clean air, nature and a slower pace that offers time to think, feel and create. It’s no mystery why generations of artists continue to gravitate towards it.
The Forest Cottage, located just off Coldwater, a stone’s throw south of the Harvard Westlake campus, is no exception. It features two generous, ensuite bedrooms situated on either side of a smartly designed open concept living space with wood-burning, white washed brick fireplace, remodeled kitchen and a dedicated laundry room. Exuding serenity throughout with expansive windows and a bounty of natural light, the first thing you’ll notice is the quiet solitude; the feeling of being at one with nature; tree-top views, bird’s chirping, bee’s buzzing, and butterflies doing whatever butterflies do. And while logically, you know you are less than a mile from the perks of modern society; Equinox, Erewhon and the Shops at the Sportsmen’s Lodge, emotionally, you might as well be worlds away, locked in a time-capsule of peace, love and creativity.
While much of the 8,500/sf lot is hillside (easily navigable via wooden steps gracefully carved into the sloping forest of olive, pine and sycamore trees) it culminates at the top in a terraced flat space just awaiting your imagination; a writer’s room, artist’s studio, yoga retreat? Another large flat side yard will be where you entertain family and guests and experience the best of California outdoor living.
As Joni once said, “We are stardust, we are golden, we are billion-year-old carbon. And, we got to get ourselves, back to the garden.”
This is the Forest Cottage. This is Home
