Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
The ultimate luxury home in the hills, this striking, contemporary masterpiece sits in a most desirable area, near Mount Olympus. With a moody, dark exterior and a bright, spacious interior, it's a real statement home with impressive views across the city – especially at night. The emphasis here is on sociable space, so the living areas all flow neatly into one another and out into the garden. Comfy furnishings, modern art and clever use of natural light make for an open and inviting space, with a floating staircase providing a focal point. The kitchen is a chef's dream, and there's a choice of dining areas depending on your mood. But we think that while you're here you'll want to take full advantage of the professional grill station on the huge roof terrace. By day, dip in and out of your private pool and hot tub, or find a quiet space to relax – in one of two living rooms, on a bedroom balcony or up on the roof with a good book. And by night, head into the city for dinner, drinks and entertainment or host a soiree at home, light the fire pit and watch in wonder as the city lights start to sparkle.

Local guide
About Laurel Canyon
Although it's often lumped together with the rest of Hollywood Hills, Laurel Canyon is a quiet and hip neighbourhood that has its own community and history that separates it from the rest of Los Angeles and Hollywood Hills.
