A once-in-a-generation California modern architectural compound spanning over a lushly landscaped acre where scale, design and privacy converge to achieve an extraordinary level of luxury & sophistication in a peaceful setting in the Studio City foothills. Conceived by Koffka/Phakos Design as a series of interconnected pavilions, the newly remodeled and expanded 9800+ SF main residence is defined by its soaring volumes, natural materials and an unwavering commitment to craftsmanship. Hemlock-clad vaulted ceilings, imported stone, designer tile, sculptural light fixtures and walls of glass create a dialogue between structure and setting, blurring the line between indoors and out at every turn. The main living spaces unfold with dramatic yet restrained elegance, conveying a sense of quiet sophistication, anchored by a showcase kitchen of exceptional scale featuring bespoke cabinetry, statement stone surfaces, top-of-the-line appliances and seamless access to multiple entertaining terraces supported by a fully appointed service kitchen. The primary suite is a sanctuary unto itself, positioned to capture treetop vistas and natural light, with a spa level bathroom clad in imported stone and anchored by a hand carved solid travertine soaking tub. Five en suite secondary bedrooms and the living areas throughout echo the same level of material integrity and architectural clarity. The lower-level lounge provides a dedicated environment for large-scale entertaining centered around a generous sunken conversation area featuring a 120-inch flat screen, seven-seat bar, dual powder rooms and a catering kitchen. A newly constructed detached guest house with kitchen, laundry, two bathrooms, sauna & steam shower provides flexibility for rejuvenation, fitness, or extended stays completing a compound that functions as both a private estate and a fully realized lifestyle environment. Fleetwood doors disappear to reveal a true resort environment outside where pool, spa, lounge areas and outdoor dining spaces are woven into the landscape with intention and ease. The grounds themselves are a defining feature expansive, layered, and remarkably private offering a sense of retreat seldom found within city limits. Mature landscaping, fire feature, terraced gardens, an outdoor kitchen with pizza oven, barbecue & bar plus a yoga platform tucked beneath a canopy of trees all create a series of distinct outdoor venues equally suited for grand entertaining and quiet, contemplative moments. Balancing form and function, the property integrates security, fire sprinkler & Crestron smart home systems throughout. Exterior construction features fire-rated DensGlass sheathing, Sho Sugi Ban siding from Nakamoto Forestry and a standing seam steel roof materials thoughtfully selected to enhance resiliency while preserving the home's architectural vision. As demand intensifies for compounds of this scale, design pedigree, and privacy in the Valley just moments from the studios & Ventura Boulevard with seamless access to the Westside this premier estate stands among the area's most significant offerings, where design, setting, and privacy align with the expectations of today's most discerning buyers.
Studio City, located between the Hollywood Hills and the San Fernando Valley, is a residential and entertainment Los Angeles neighborhood with hillside streets and a walkable commercial spine. The neighborhood’s character concentrates along Ventura Boulevard at Laurel Canyon Boulevard, where sidewalk patios, indie boutiques, and low-lit cocktail bars cluster under mature street trees. The Studio City Farmers Market and the historic CBS Studio Center act as local pillars, with the nearby El Portal Theatre adding a small-stage cultural note. Spanish Revival and mid-century homes mix with newer townhomes, especially on the slopes above the boulevard. Fryman Canyon Park and Wilacre Park set a trail-to-town rhythm, while the LA River greenway edges the flatlands. Metro B Line service at Universal City/Studio City links the area to the wider city without changing its calm, curated feel.
