The story
On a coveted cul-de-sac in Upper Nichols Canyon, just off Woodrow Wilson Drive's famed Celebrity Row, this reimagined home is a European-style cottage outside and a warm mountain chalet within. Whitewashed brick, arched black-framed windows, and a lantern-lit entry open to soaring vaulted spaces with century-old reclaimed beams, stone fireplaces, and vintage French oak floors, finished down to Forbes & Lomax switch plates and deVOL fixtures. The family room opens fully through a wall of glass to a private, tree-framed garden with lawn and patio. Plenty of room for a custom pool & spa. A designer-curated bar with rolling library ladder, live-edge bar top, and draft taps flows into a ski-lodge lounge. The five-bedroom, four-and-a-half-bath home includes a primary bedroom set against antique Tuscan farmhouse stone, with a bath featuring a soaking tub and window seat; an upstairs suite with its own stone fireplace; a secret ladder-up hideaway for kids (and kids at heart); and a sunlit vaulted office/fifth bedroom with a hidden Murphy bed that opens to the lawn. Secluded and surrounded by nature, yet moments from the energy of Los Angeles.
