Historic Laurel Canyon: This extraordinary Hollywood Hills estate, the renowned Wonderland Castle, was designed in 1931 by a legendary set designer. The 3bd/2ba gated and private residence is truly a work of art with exceptional celebrity provenance. Every room features unique details, including vaulted or Monticello ceilings, bespoke cathedral doors, polished hardwood floors, turrets with secret conversation areas, and an abundance of artistic windows that flood the space with sunlight. Completely remodeled in 2014, this stunning residence offers cooking enthusiasts a chef's kitchen with breakfast bar/island, top-end appliances, laundry area, hand-hewn built-ins, and a cozy breakfast cove with a stunning live-edge table and corner banquette. Off the breakfast nook, huge doors lead to a captivating balcony that overlooks the free-form saltwater pool area edged with vividly colored florals and featuring a stone tunnel, footbridge, waterfall, and bubbling spa. A semi-circular step/up primary bedroom wing with towering ceilings is its own exclusive retreat. It features a fireplace, a dressing area with a modern clawfoot tub, and access to a secluded and very romantic garden courtyard with antique gates and a soothing fountain. An artisan-crafted stone fireplace is the focal point of the sunken living room, which incorporates two offset spires designed as conversation areas, spectacular windows that capture the breadth of the lush estate, and a circular stone stairway that leads to the lower-level bedroom wing. The guest bedroom is highlighted by a fireplace, wine cove, and its own private entrance that opens onto the spectacular grounds. Each of the home's stunning bathrooms offers luxurious Carrera marble showers designed for ultimate pampering with multiple shower heads, high-end fixtures, unique windows, and top-tier Japanese bidet toilets. Start each day with morning coffee on one of the many private patios, each surrounded by greenery and walls of stone created by the talented designers of this timeless work of art. At the end of the day, residents and their guests will look forward to strolling along the winding, verdant pathways or relaxing with a glass of wine around a fire pit in one of the several outdoor conversation areas nestled among the oak trees. Inside the secure quarter-acre property, there is space for six cars. Studio-close and minutes from the Sunset Strip, West Hollywood, the iconic Laurel Canyon Country Store, Mulholland Drive, and Studio City's trendy shops and bistros, the location offers hiking trails, lookout points, and ultimate convenience. Laurel Canyon, known for its rock 'n' roll history, is also the home of the highly desirable Wonderland Elementary School District. Note: Beautifully furnished, but most pieces can be stored to accommodate tenant furniture if requested. Please call regarding pets or to schedule a private showing. *Due to the era in which the home was built, records are not up-to-date re square footage, which is greater than shown on Title. Professional measurements are currently scheduled.)
