Adorable Midcentury House With Big Views Seeks $2.5 Million

Looking for a snazzy change of scenery? Not only is this a cute little place to hang your hat, but it also has some pretty stellar canyon and mountain views to boot — ones free of those pesky and unsightly overhead power lines. And it just popped up for sale in the San Fernando Valley community of Studio City, asking a speck under $2.5 million.

Nestled on a hillside parcel of land spanning almost a quarter-acre — in The Doñas neighborhood, adjacent to Laurel Canyon — the U-shaped structure was built in the early 1960s and has been tastefully updated, and features five bedrooms and four baths in almost 2,800 square feet of single-level living space boasting light hardwood floors and high ceilings throughout, plus walls of glass for seamless indoor/outdoor environs.

Expect to be charmed from the outset by green-trimmed double front doors that open into a terrazzo-clad entry foyer. From there, a sunken living room sports a decorative fireplace, and sliding glass doors spilling out to a patio that connects to a flat turf-clad area and cantilevered deck overlooking unobstructed vistas. Back inside, a family room flows to the kitchen, which is outfitted with an apron-front sink, eat-in peninsula and stainless appliances, and a formal dining room flaunts an expansive curving window.

Most of the bedrooms are secluded in their own private wings, including a primary suite that comes complete with access to the aforementioned patio and a walk-in closet, along with a mosaic-tiled bath holding dual vanities, a soaking tub and glass-encased shower. Three additional bedrooms right down the hall share a full bath, while another one on the opposite side of the house could ideally be used as an office or a guest suite, per the listing; and elsewhere is a laundry room that opens to the attached two-car garage.

The listing is held by Karen Medved and Shannon Fenton of Compass.
