About This Home

As of July 2020

Tucked away on a quiet lane in Laurel Canyon sits this impressive, character-filled, 1930 Spanish home - oozing with vintage touches, period details, and canyon folklore. A rare find, this 3 bed (plus den), 3 bath home once belonged to the madame of a famed brothel in Laurel Canyon, of which Harry Houdini was said to be a frequent patron. Rumor has it the stained glass window in the dining room was a gift from the magician to the madame! With beamed ceilings, original tile, french doors, and multiple outdoor seating areas, they just don't make 'em like this anymore. Inside, the main level of the home includes the living area, dining room, kitchen, a bedroom, bathroom, and cozy den/media room. Remaining bedrooms are upstairs, as well as a serene outdoor space off the main bedroom. At the basement level is a laundry room and a sep. bonus room, accessed from the outside, with exposed brick. This one is a real classic beauty... catch her before she disappears. Wonderland School District.

  • Advertising Remarks: Tucked away on a quiet country lane in Laurel Canyon sits this impressive, character-filled, 1930 Spanish home - oozing with vintage touches, period details, and our most favorite thing ever... canyon folklore! A rare find, this 3 bed, plus den, 3 bath home once belonged to the madame of a famed brothel in Laurel Canyon, of which Harry Houdini was said to be a frequent patron. Rumor has it the stained glass window in the dining room was a gift from the magician to the madame! With beamed ceilings, original tile, french doors, and multiple outdoor seating areas, they just don't make 'em like this anymore. Upon entering the enchanting grounds, a babbling fountain greets you, surrounded by fragrant lavender bushes and lush greenery, offering serenity and seclusion all before you enter the front door. Inside, the main level of the home includes the living area, dining room, kitchen, a bedroom, bathroom, and cozy den/media room. Remaining bedrooms are upstairs, as well as a serene outdoor space off the main bedroom. At the basement level is a polished laundry room and a beautiful separate bonus rom, accessed from the outside, with exposed brick. This one is a real classic beauty... catch her before she disappears. Wonderland School Dist.
