Perched above the city in an exceptionally private setting, this romantic 1930s retreat offers sweeping canyon, valley, and city light views in a serene setting surrounded by mature trees and natural beauty. Long cherished as an artistic retreat, the home offers an inspiring atmosphere that feels worlds away from Los Angeles, yet remains conveniently located just minutes from Studio City, the Westside, and the Valley. Thoughtfully updated while preserving its original charm, the home features a dramatic living room with soaring beamed ceilings and a dual-sided fireplace that flows seamlessly into a dining room, den, TV room, and office. The spacious family room and open kitchen are anchored by a second fireplace and French doors that open to the outdoor entertaining areas. Designed for effortless indoor-outdoor living, the grounds include a beautiful pool and spa surrounded by expansive slate and wood decking, creating multiple spaces for lounging, dining, and entertaining against a backdrop of stunning views. The home offers four bedrooms and four bathrooms, including three bedrooms upstairs. The generous primary suite opens to a private terrace overlooking the canyon vistas and features a spa-like bath with vaulted ceilings, a clawfoot soaking tub, steam shower, and dual vanities. Offered fully furnished for a minimum three-month lease and maximum four-month term, this is a rare opportunity to experience a private hillside retreat with timeless character, exceptional outdoor living, and an unmistakably creative spirit. That feels natural and also subtly conveys that the house has a lot of usable living space without making the description too long.
