Laurel Canyon has always offered a rare version of Los Angeles: close to everything, yet distinctly apart from it. This home captures that appeal with open canyon views, no neighboring homes directly ahead, and an unusual amount of usable outdoor spaceall approximately five minutes from the Sunset Strip and seven minutes from Ventura Boulevard in Studio City, traffic permitting.A fully independent guest residence adds another dimension to the property. Previously used as a music and recording studio, the lower level has its own entrance, bedroom, bathroom, full kitchen, laundry, and glass-enclosed sunroom opening to the wraparound deck. It works just as naturally for extended stays as it does for a dedicated music, recording, or creative studio.Recently remodeled with designer materials and a warm, considered palette, the main living spaces feel polished without losing the relaxed character of the canyon. Two living rooms offer space to gather or separate, with an open kitchen and dining area at the center of the home. The primary suite overlooks the hills and features a beautifully finished bath with heated floors, plus an adjacent room ideal for an office, nursery, or dressing room. Custom window treatments from The Shade Store add privacy throughout.Outside, expansive decks provide room for dining, lounging, and entertaining against the canyon backdrop. Beyond them, a flat, usable yard and outdoor spa add something particularly difficult to find in the hills.The remodel is backed by substance: the seller reports the home's five major systemsroof, electrical, plumbing, foundation, and HVACare in great condition. Located on a quiet street within the Carpenter Community Charter School attendance area, the home is minutes from the city, with canyon, trees, and sky still defining the view.
