This updated Spanish Villa is a sublimely sophisticated home and exudes a classical romantic vibe. Just off Laurel Canyon at the end of a quiet Fryman Canyon cul-de-sac and a long private gated driveway, this one-acre property achieves the impossible for LA, it's simultaneously close to several beautiful countryside hikes, all the amenities of Studio City and yet incredibly safe and private since it cannot be seen from the road. The distinctly vintage brick flooring, the polished concrete flooring, and the iconic blue glass chandelier in the 2-story front foyer boldly announce that this is a compellingly unique and artistic home. Cozy wood burning fireplaces anchor the family and living rooms. The formal dining room surrounded by gorgeous arches overlooks the sparkling pool and lush landscaping, and elegantly flows to an expansive living room with a fireplace and piano. The chef's kitchen with the best appliances hosts memorable meal preparation, and serves as the heartbeat of this warm and lovely home. A downstairs office has plenty of storage and is perfect for working at home, or a children's playroom nearby to the kitchen and family room. The circular staircase reminiscent of a great Italian boutique hotel takes you upstairs for all the private rooms. An en suite guest room, plus two bedrooms that share a remodeled jack-n-jill bathroom, are adjacent to the beautiful primary suite. Luxuriate in the bathroom that offers a steam shower, lovely dual sinks and make up vanity and assorted closets including a walk in closet. The great room is truly great. Exterior access enables this amazing space with voluminous windows and soaring ceilings to function as a killer home office, creative edit suite or musician's studio, or just a great place to hang out. The included TONAL & Elliptical machines allow you to work out whenever the mood strikes, all from the comfort of your own private home. The garage is equipped with a Tesla car charger. Acres of hillside with a nature trail to a sitting area offer the perfect refuge to get some exercise and fresh air. While close to all the best shopping and restaurants of trendy Studio City, close access to the Sunset Strip, this delightful refuge provides all the serenity and inspiration in its cloistered private enclave that you may never leave.
