If If you want a ton of space and absolutely STUNNING views, you’ve come to the right place. If you’re looking for super modern and immaculate, this house is probably not the one for you.
True to the Bohemian vibe of Laurel Canyon, the house itself is very cool but it’s worn-in. So while it has plenty of personality, it could benefit from some updates and fresh furnishings. At bare minimum, the carpet in the master needs to go.
As others have noted, the HVAC situation leaves something to be desired - at least in one quarter of the house, which includes the master suite. The AC just blows hot air there (yes, they know). It’s really only an issue midday in the summer, since the evenings and mornings are cool up there. The AC works great everywhere else in the house.
The outdoor spaces are plentiful with breathtaking views of the city on one side and the canyon on the other. The crow’s nest off the master loft was one of our favorite spots. We even slept up there a few times.
Literally every room has a view. The pool house bedroom was particularly charming - like a summer camp.
The pool is a great feature but it’s worth noting that it’s a deep plunge pool, meaning there’s a few steps and then it drops immediately to 6ft+ deep. To enjoy it with friends/kids, you’ll certainly need to purchase some floats + there are only two lounge chairs total for this 5-bedroom home.
Cell phone coverage is spotty and so is the WiFi. On the flip side, it has a great and super convenient two-car garage.
Overall we really enjoyed this home. Please don’t misinterpret this review as a negative stay. I think it’s good to know exactly what you’re getting. I would recommend this house.
