60+ years ago a young married couple chose Laurel Canyon to buy their first home. The surrounding nature, canyon vibe and breathtaking views could not be duplicated. Two children and many years later a lifetime of memories has been made. Now it is time to pass this home to a new generation. The drive up is a single lane that takes you to a magical enclave of homes unchanged from the Laurel Canyon of yesterday. Not visible from the street - an unassuming gate leads you down a pathway of stairs to this magical 2-story abode. North-facing views are explosive, yet privacy abounds. The property consists of two separate lots (APN's) and totals more than 8800 sq feet of land. On the first floor is a spacious living room w/decorative fireplace and a wood-paneled dining room. Rows of windows in both rooms capture views & natural sunlight. A cozy and functional yellow kitchen brings joy to the space. A laundry area and storage complete the first floor. On the second floor you will find many purposeful spaces. A large primary suite with corner windows to the garden. Two additional bedrooms, one full bath, a den / study area and a private office. All with views of the gorgeous Laurel Canyon hills. Of the outdoor deck - the owner said this (in her own words): The spacious deck that we built became a favorite gathering place for just about everyone with impromptu parties for friends, large family gatherings, or just a space to experience alone for quiet contemplation, greeting the morning light or whispering good night as daylight fades and the trees and hillside across the way become silhouettes. Reading these words one can truly feel what it is like to call this home. Over the years, the owners have stabilized the hillside, added terracing and retaining walls. Rebuilt and reinforced the deck. Replaced the roof (approx 6 years ago), updated the electrical panel to 100 amps and updated the plumbing to copper. The house was recently painted inside and out, many windows are double-paned and many other improvements have been done to maintain the home and property. There is no garage, but there are designated parking spaces in front of the house. A creative and tranquil retreat in legendary Laurel Canyon and just up the road from the famous Canyon Country Store. Minutes to the Sunset Strip and the San Fernando Valley. The property is within the desirable Wonderland elementary school district (buyer to verify enrollment). Come experience the magic! Private Showings only!
