Description
HIGHLY MOTIVATED SELLER - HUGE PRICE REDUCTION - GREAT OPPORTUNITY Beyond a private gate off Laurel Canyon Boulevard, set well back from the street in the heart of Studio City, this rare, gated compound unfolds across approximately 32,000 square feet of flat land on TWO contiguous parcels. NOTE BUILDING SQ FT IS COMBINED AND INCLUDES MAIN HOUSE, GUEST HOUSE, BUNGALOW AND SOUND STAGE AS MEASURED. Peaceful and secluded, yet moments from Ventura Boulevard, Fryman Canyon, and major studios, the estate offers a true live-work-create lifestyle with four separate structures and parking for up to 24 vehicles. Arrival begins in a spacious entry courtyard framed by raised garden beds, a paved courtyard & a two-car carport, single-car garage, and additional driveway space which can collectively accommodate 11 vehicles at the main residence. The remodeled 1930s farmhouse-style main residence is approx.. 3,960 sq ft. A grand paneled foyer with wainscoting opens to a formal living room featuring a bay window, marble fireplace, and custom built-ins. Opposite, a sprawling great room and dining area sized for a large dining experience flow seamlessly to the outdoor courtyard and grassy backyard while also being adjacent to the chef's kitchen which is anchored by an eight-foot soapstone island and outfitted with Thermador appliances, a farmhouse sink, custom cabinetry, and a well-appointed butler's pantry with wet sink and 100+ bottle wine cooler. Throughout the home, Carrara and Calcutta marble, custom millwork, designer fixtures, copper plumbing, Nest systems, and three fireplaces including one imported from Italy reflect thoughtful craftsmanship. Also on the lower level is a junior bedroom suite or office depending on the owner's preference. Upstairs and off of a half circle landing, enjoy an expansive private primary suite w/ensuite luxury bath and two spacious guest bedrooms that share a huge and elegantly beautifully designed bath w/separate soaking tub and closeted shower w/higher end fixtures and custom vanity. The awesome primary suite has a large sitting area, private balcony overlooking the grounds, walk-in closet, and spa-style bath with soaking tub and glass-enclosed shower. Also on the second level is a large laundry and washroom w/cabinets and counters for folding and prepping. As you exit the main house through French doors from the great room you are greeted by a dramatic brick herringbone courtyard anchored by an imported Italian fireplace. A brick pathway leads to the expansive grassy backyard, where mature trees and palms create privacy and classic Hollywood ambiance. A seated garden area rests beside the pool and charming studio bungalow. Beyond, the yard extends along the two-bedroom guest house with a separate yard space for rest and reflection. The poolside studio bungalow provides flexible space with bath perfect for guests or creative use. The separate two-bedroom guest house features hardwood floors, brick fireplace, natural light, full kitchen with stainless appliances, quartz counters, and its own laundry, with bedrooms thoughtfully positioned for privacy. From the pool and vegetable gardens, the estate transitions into its most distinctive feature: a 2,266 sq foot creative studio and soundstage with over 300 sq. ft of additional storage space for equipment and supplies. Enter through oversized doors into reception and office areas with brick flooring and abundant light. The main stage boasts 25-foot ceilings, flexible production capacity, and a three-quarter bath. A second-floor loft houses a mixing and composing space with vintage Mackie console. A separate gated drive provides 13 additional parking spaces, bringing total on-site parking to 24. South of Ventura Boulevard and minutes to Universal, Warner Bros., Disney, and CBS, this gated multi-structure estate offers rare scale, privacy, flexibility, and centrality in one extraordinary Studio City setting.
