A rare one-owner, custom-built artist retreat offering breathtaking panoramic views, exceptional privacy, and the serene feeling of a mountain home in the heart of Los Angeles. Set within the coveted Lake Hollywood Knolls, this one-of-a-kind residence was built in 1978 and thoughtfully designed to embrace its spectacular natural surroundings. From the moment you enter, expansive views of the San Gabriel Mountains and valley create a dramatic first impression. The spacious living room features floor-to-ceiling 15-foot windows, a cozy step-down sitting area, and a fireplace- an inviting setting for sunset evenings and sparkling city-light views. Glass sliding doors open to an enormous deck and expansive yard, creating an effortless indoor-outdoor setting for large dinner parties, intimate gatherings, or quiet mornings overlooking the surrounding landscape. The kitchen offers generous cabinetry, a pantry, and floor-to-ceiling windows, with a glass slider opening directly to the view deck. Direct garage access provides added convenience to both the kitchen and primary bedroom. A beautifully appointed powder room completes the first level. Upstairs, the primary suite is a private retreat with a remodeled bath and extraordinary views from the bed. An adjoining room with a spa tub offers an additional space for relaxation. The guest bedroom evokes the feeling of a secluded treehouse, with high ceilings, views of lush greenery and mature trees, and its own private deck. An expansive media room offers remarkable flexibility and could be used as an oversized third bedroom with bath, a double office, home gym, or creative recording studio. The residence occupies an impressive 17,612-square-foot lot with room for an ADU and parking for four cars. Ideally located in Lake Hollywood Knolls, close to Universal, Netflix, Warner Bros., Disney, hiking trails, Lake Hollywood, the Hollywood Sign, and the Wisdom Tree/Cahuenga Peak trail.
