A separate upper-level area offers excellent creative flexibility with a desk/studio workspace and additional living quarters that open to a beautiful patio overlooking the canyon. The larger wing features dramatic two-story ceilings, a striking fireplace, engineered hardwood floors, updated lighting, and a well-appointed kitchen with wine rack, beverage fridge, pantry, and adjacent laundry.An oversized two-story, two-car garage includes a dumbwaiter that brings bags and groceries directly up to the dining level. Upstairs, soaring arched wood ceilings create a bold architectural statement, while the expansive primary suite delivers sweeping views, a walk-in closet, spa-like bath, and direct access to a private deck. Outside, terraced hillside landscaping and a built-in walkway lead to even more immersive canyon vistas-just moments from Hollywood, Laurel Canyon Market, and beloved hiking trails.
