Tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac in the lush hills of Laurel Canyon, this private single-level retreat offers a rare combination of tranquility, comfort, and effortless indoor-outdoor living, just minutes from the Sunset Strip and Studio City. Reimagined with modern convenience while preserving its mid-century character, the four-bedroom, three-bath residence unfolds around an open living, dining, and kitchen area overlooking a green lawn, fire pit, heated swimming pool and spa. Once outside, enjoy the outdoor kitchen with a passthrough window to the indoor kitchen. The chef's kitchen features a six-burner Viking range, a Sub-Zero refrigerator, and a dedicated wine-cooling fridge. Privately positioned apart from and opposite the home's three additional bedrooms, the primary suite opens directly to the pool through double French doors and features a walk-in wardrobe and spa-inspired bath with a tub and steam shower. Wood and slate tile flooring add texture and a luxurious feel throughout. Outside, mature landscaping, a broad grassy yard, and mountain and canyon surroundings create the feeling of a secluded resort-life in the heart of Los Angeles. There is a mix of mature and newer fruit trees, including lemon, avocado, guava, grapefruit, mandarin and lime trees! Spanning almost 2,000 SF of living space on a 7,791 SF lot, the home has been lovingly maintained by the current owner, and is offered with newer appliances including a washer, dryer, jacuzzi spa by the pool, gas fireplace, updated HVAC, Nest security and latest model outdoor kitchen appliances. Come for the tranquility, stay for the serene mountain views. Buyer is advised to independently verify the accuracy of all information, including square footage, lot size, permits, zoning, schools, and property features.

About Laurel
Canyon
Laurel Canyon, located between Hollywood and Studio City, is a hillside and residential Los Angeles neighborhood with winding canyon roads and a storied music legacy. The character concentrates around the Laurel Canyon Blvd corridor near Canyon Country Store, where a low-key strip of café counters, patio tables, and local bulletin boards sets the daily rhythm. Landmark homes hide behind oaks and eucalyptus, mixing midcentury modern lines with rustic cabins and decks. The Canyon Country Store and the historic Laurel Canyon Tavern act as familiar gathering points. Hikes and overlooks thread into the Santa Monica Mountains via nearby trailheads. Evenings feel quieter, with headlights tracing the curves up to ridge-top streets.
