About this home

Perched at the top of a serene cul-de-sac on one of Laurel Canyon's most historic and coveted streets, Wonderland Park Avenue, this 1960s mid-century modern home is a true purist's dream. Originally designed by artist Jean Edelstein and architect David Crompton, with gardens by legendary landscape architect Garrett Eckbo, the home is a perfect representation of what the area is best known for - iconic mid-century architecture and the unique connection to nature that defines canyon living. Designed to make the surrounding landscape feel like an extension of the home itself, walls of glass and expansive openings frame lush greenery from nearly every room while bathing the interiors in natural light. Upon entering, you are greeted by a formal dining room and expansive living room with a built-in fireplace that flows effortlessly into the backyard creating an ideal setting for indoor-outdoor living and entertaining. The living and dining spaces also connect seamlessly to an expansive kitchen featuring original custom cabinetry, a pass-through bar, and the perfect spot for casual dining or sipping your morning coffee while enjoying peaceful views of the backyard. This level is completed with a guest room and bath, perfect for a guest suite or home office. The outdoor spaces offer ample room for lounging, dining, and taking in the lush gardens, the serene fountain, and secluded hillside surroundings. The second floor features four bedrooms, including the primary suite with floor-to-ceiling windows and an en-suite bath showcasing the original terrazzo carried throughout the home. The additional bedrooms are all generously sized and each enjoys direct access to outdoor decks and patios. This level flows into an expansive flexible-use space with its own private entrance and floating staircase leading to a third floor that is easily adaptable into a sizable primary bedroom, oversized den, work-from-home setup, creative studio, or private guest suite. A garage with direct access to the home adds to the functionality of the layout. Thoughtfully preserved with an extraordinary number of original details intact, this is a rare opportunity to own an authentic mid-century sanctuary of style, privacy, and serenity in one of Laurel Canyon's most sought-after locations. Ideally situated within the Wonderland School District and minutes from the Mulholland Tennis Club, hiking trails, and scenic overlooks.
