California, Los Angeles County, Los Angeles, USA

Hidden enclave behind private gates on famed "Celebrity Row", this striking Contemporary architectural retreat offers a rare combination of privacy, scale, panoramic canyon and treetop views, and extraordinary outdoor living just minutes from the Sunset Strip. Surrounded by mature trees and immersed in nature, the home is designed around a seamless connection between indoors and out. Walls of floor-to-ceiling glass flood the interiors with natural light while framing serene views from nearly every vantage point. The open living and dining spaces flow effortlessly to an expansive glass-enclosed balcony spanning the width of the room, creating a spectacular setting for morning coffee, sunset cocktails, and year-round entertaining. Complete interior and exterior remodel in 2008. At the heart of the home, the chef's kitchen features professional-grade Viking appliances, generous counter space and an island, with an easy connection to the adjoining dining and living areas. The impressive primary suite is a private retreat among the treetops, with walls of glass opening to the views, its own balcony, a custom-fitted walk-in closet, and a spacious spa-inspired bath. A peaceful sitting area lined with floor-to-ceiling bookshelves and a generous secondary en-suite bedroom complete the upper level. Downstairs, an oversized family/media room provides an entirely different atmosphere for gathering and entertaining, with direct access to the outdoor dining deck and backyard. An additional en-suite bedroom, full laundry room and a home office. The outdoor spaces are exceptional. Multi-tiered decks provide an extraordinary amount of entertaining space, while the expansive flat backyard give an uncommon luxury in the Hollywood Hills and creates a private oasis surrounded by greenery. A tranquil pond, low-maintenance turf, mature landscaping and multiple areas for dining, grilling and relaxing make the property equally suited to intimate evenings or large-scale entertaining. The generous grounds also offer potential for a pool or spa, if desired. Thoughtful improvements include wide-plank oak flooring, custom electronic window coverings, updated tile and cabinetry, smart-home features, newer HVAC, elastomeric roof coating, and an eight-camera security system. A gated circular drive and garage provide off-street parking for up to five cars. For those drawn to both nature and city life, the setting is difficult to duplicate. Runyon Canyon hiking trails are moments away, while the restaurants, nightlife and energy of the Sunset Strip are just minutes from home. Yet once behind the gates, the city feels remarkably distant. Private, peaceful and architecturally distinctive, this is a true Hollywood Hills retreat where walls of glass, sweeping views and extraordinary outdoor spaces come together in one of the neighborhood's most storied settings.
