A location so private, you barely know the house exists. A updated Spanish villa so sublimely sophisticated, you fall in love upon first sight. A location so coveted, homes in Fryman Canyon rarely become available. Just off Laurel Canyon at the end of a quiet 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, with all the amenities of Studio City's vibrant restaurants and shopping, top-rated Carpenter Elementary, and yet incredibly safe and remote since it cannot be seen from the road, or even the gated driveway. 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. Upstairs has an en suite guest room, plus two additional bedrooms that share a remodeled Jack-n-Jill bathroom, and are adjacent to the beautiful primary suite. 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. Fryman Canyon sales are soaring, with several significant renovations in the pipeline, boding well for continued price appreciation. This is a beautiful house offering compelling value for a truly lovely lifestyle.
