About 1853 Nichols Canyon Road
Set in the lush foothills of lower Nichols Canyon, this gated estate is located over a bridge amidst extensive gardens, pool, spa, cabana and another hilltop hot tub with views. Once parked in the brick motor court, the beautiful architecture and privacy of the setting become evident.... yet the location is just moments from the Sunset Strip, West Hollywood and Beverly Hills. Inside, the interiors feature dramatic cross-trussed beams, two large wood-burning fireplaces and walls of glass that retract to reveal dramatic hillside gardens. The chef's kitchen, dining room and den are all open to each other and flow out the patios through those large open doors. The spacious master suite has soaring wood beam ceilings, separate dressing area/office and a spa-like bath. The two guest rooms at the other side of the house share a large bath with jacuzzi tub and separate shower. The property has the feeling of a spa retreat within the city. There are many sitting areas tucked within the gardens and pathways up to multiple viewing decks with city views. The pool cabana is located adjacent to the spa and fire-pit and offers a large sauna, bath and shower. There is so much to offer in this truly special setting.
