Architectural Innovation

As featured in Dwell magazine, this award-winning Mid-Century Modern retreat presents a rare opportunity in Laurel Canyon’s coveted Wonderland Park enclave. Originally built as a 1956 ranch house, the residence was masterfully reimagined by acclaimed Los Angeles firm Assembledge+, with interiors by Vanessa Alexander. A modern second-floor addition is connected to the original pitched roof by a dramatic 30-foot skylight, filling the interiors with natural light. Inspired by the canyon’s mature oak and eucalyptus trees, the distinctive roofline creates an elevated, treehouse-like experience.

Materials & Design

Sustainably harvested Western Red Cedar cladding extends from the family room ceiling through the skylight and around the second-story exterior, creating a seamless connection between architecture and nature. The gourmet kitchen features custom white oak cabinetry and dual Caesarstone waterfall islands, providing generous seating and serving space for entertaining. In the living room, a slate-gray Venetian plaster fireplace creates a sophisticated focal point. Textured neutrals, rich woods, vintage accents, and designer selections establish a warm yet refined aesthetic throughout, while a whole-home Control4 system with built-in speakers offers seamless modern convenience.

Living Spaces

The residence offers five bedrooms, including an oversized, hotel-inspired primary suite with sweeping canyon views. Generous guest accommodations, open dining and lounge areas, a dedicated screening room, and a detached treehouse-inspired office provide exceptional flexibility. Floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors create effortless indoor-outdoor flow from the front garden through the interiors to the backyard, where a sparkling heated pool framed by mature landscaping offers a private, resort-like setting.

Sustainable Features

Solar photovoltaic systems add a sustainably minded element to this turnkey retreat, available for short- or long-term lease, furnished or unfurnished. Ideally located near Mulholland Drive and the Mulholland Tennis Club, within the acclaimed Wonderland Avenue Elementary School district, and among architectural landmarks including Pierre Koenig’s Case Study House No. 21, this exceptional residence embodies the privacy, design pedigree, and relaxed sophistication of the quintessential Laurel Canyon lifestyle.
