11534 Laurelcrest, Studio City, CA 91604

Description

Set on a quiet cul-de-sac in the Studio City hills, this 1961 midcentury post-and-beam residence with jetliner views, is one of only five homes built for a USC Case Study project by Chapman and McCorkell, blending architectural significance with a sensitive, modern restoration. Inside, beautifully preserved maple hardwood floors, original lighting fixtures, a striking two-sided fireplace, and dramatic two-story picture windows flood the home with natural light, seamlessly blending classic midcentury character with contemporary comfort. The fully renovated, open-concept kitchen pairs fireclay tile and Bosch appliances with a striking waterfall island and abundant storage, opening gracefully to the dining and living spaces. The main floor is further enhanced by a bonus office, a thoughtfully designed pantry/mudroom, and exceptional storage. Upstairs, three generously sized bedrooms are awash in sunlight with panoramic views, including a serene primary suite with an enormous custom closet and direct access to an expansive deck with 180 degree views of the San Fernando Valley. The architecture of this home opens effortlessly to inspired outdoor living, with generous spaces for entertaining, an in-ground heated lap pool equipped with a resistance swim jet, and newly installed drought-tolerant landscaping designed for beauty and sustainability. The home has been thoughtfully updated with a newer roof, electrical panel, HVAC system, extensive whole-home solar system, and EV charging. It is also wildfire certified by the Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety (IBHS), following extensive mitigation completed by Madronus Wildfire Defense. Zoned for award-winning schools, this property is also minutes from the Studio City Farmers Market, Fryman Canyon hiking trails, and the vibrant shops and restaurants along Ventura Blvd. and Ventura Place. Don't miss this chance to own a beautifully restored midcentury gem, where iconic design meets modern living, set against one of Studio City's most stunning backdrops.
