So utterly private, you disappear from the world as you drive up to your sanctuary in this hidden cul-de-sac in Studio City's prestigious Fryman Canyon estates. Behind gates and up a long private driveway, this is modern Spanish architecture with authenticity and restraint. One acre of private hillside grounds: secluded, elevated, and remarkably quiet. Located in one of the city's most sought-after neighborhoods, with some of the best hiking trails right outside your backyard, it blends natural serenity with easy access to Studio City's trendy restaurants, CBS/Warner Bros, Netflix and Universal, and the hip nightlife of Hollywood and the Sunset Strip. Classic Spanish character meets thoughtful updates. Brick detailing, sculptural arches and wood-burning fireplaces provide warmth and permanence, while polished concrete floors and thoughtful updates bring a contemporary edge. A dramatic two-story foyer sets a confident architectural tone from the moment you enter. The formal dining room overlooks the sparkling pool and lush layered landscaping. The kitchen anchors the home with direct access to the Great Room and outdoor entertaining areas, a nearby office or flex space offers versatility without interrupting flow. Upstairs, the bedrooms feel light-filled and elevated, with treetop views and a sense of retreat.

An en suite guest bedroom offers privacy, while two additional bedrooms share a remodeled Jack-and-Jill bath. The upstairs family room is magical soaring ceilings and expansive windows surround you with treetop views and the quiet of the hillside. You are a creative artist and you immediately respond to how different this house is from anything else.
