Perched atop a hillside with sweeping views, this exceptional architectural residence was designed and built in 1955 by Valentine J. Powelson, AIA, as one of his earliest residential projects. Nestled near the top of coveted Upper Nichols Canyon - one of Los Angeles' most celebrated enclaves of midcentury architecture - the home offers a rare combination of privacy, design pedigree, and effortless indoor-outdoor living. Bathed in natural light, the three-bedroom, two-bathroom residence takes full advantage of its elevated setting through dramatic walls of glass, soaring beamed ceilings, and sliding glass doors that seamlessly connect the interior spaces to an expansive wraparound redwood deck and tranquil bluestone patio. The living room serves as the heart of the home, anchored by a wood-burning fireplace and framed by verdant views that bring the outdoors in. Thoughtfully updated while honoring its architectural roots, the home features a newly remodeled kitchen, beautiful hardwood floors, and fresh interior and exterior paint. All three bedrooms feature elevated ceilings, while the two front bedrooms are enhanced by clerestory windows that flood the spaces with light and create an airy sense of volume throughout.The primary suite offers a peaceful retreat with a walk-in closet and a private bath featuring dual vanities, a separate shower, and a soaking tub. Outdoors, mature landscaping creates a serene natural setting where birdsong replaces city noise. Enjoy morning coffee or sunset gatherings on the expansive deck, or entertain guests beneath the stars on the secluded bluestone patio. An attached covered carport includes generous storage with multiple built-in closets. Offering the tranquility of a private hillside sanctuary while remaining moments from Studio City, Hollywood, Burbank, major studios, and some of Los Angeles' finest dining and entertainment, this is a rare opportunity to own an architecturally significant home in one of the city's most sought-after neighborhoods.
