This handsome hillside home is located near Coldwater Canyon and just a stone’s throw from Harvard Westlake School, one of the very best high schools in all of Los Angeles.

3720 Alta Mesa Drive
Studio City, CA 91604

$2,100,000 | 2 Beds | 2 Baths | 1,265 Sq. Ft. | $1,660 per Sq. Ft. | Built in 1950 | 0.3 Acres

Set at the top of a long and secluded driveway, this gorgeous wood-clad home offers jaw-dropping views of the valley that stretch all the way to the San Gabriels.

This spacious 2-bedroom home has excellent indoor/outdoor living spaces, complete with an additional office that could be used as a third bedroom.

The living room is absolutely charming with hardwood floors, a classic brick fireplace, and easy outdoor access to the expansive deck. Large picture windows capture stunning panoramic city and mountain views from every angle, a breathtaking backdrop to Studio City’s vibrant lifestyle.

The kitchen has been outfitted with a Bertazzoni stove, granite countertops, and stainless steel appliances. It opens seamlessly to the living and dining areas, which flow effortlessly to the enchanting deck.

The primary bedroom has several sets of sliding glass doors that lovingly frame the verdant backyard.

The second bedroom offers a light, bright, and relaxed room of one’s own, with an alcove great for a wardrobe or writing desk, plus multiple windows including a clerestory window that allows for plenty of sunshine but also privacy.

The office is attached to the primary bedroom and could easily be transformed to a third bedroom with its own en suite bath and separate entrance. Though, in its current state, it’s a lovely and inspiring place to work, with nice built-in bookshelves and chic wood panels. This room could also become a great and convenient nursery or children’s bedroom.

Both bathrooms are architecturally vibrant, with oddly shaped windows, marble backsplashes and floors, plus romantic soaking tubs.

Outside, private trails wind through the property’s lush gardens, creating serene spots to quietly immerse oneself in the radiant natural surroundings.

This outdoor patio has multiple dining and lounging areas that offer the perfect setting for both casual and grand al fresco entertaining, all with views sure to dazzle and delight. Not to mention, the grounds come complete with a wood-fired pizza oven that will offer an easy reason for entertaining all year round.

The oversized quarter of an acre property is graced by this breathtaking green landscape, featuring seven majestic pine, cedar, and redwood trees, a mature avocado tree, and a stately 20-year-old olive tree.

A serene waterfall, alive with the fluttering of hummingbirds, creates more peaceful ambiance.

The property’s gardens, brimming with citrus, peach, plum, and fig trees, lend an orchard-like charm to the setting, their blossoms attracting vibrant wildlife such as owls.

This one-of-a-kind home is nestled right into the hillside creating a retreat that feels both lushly secluded and distinctly rare for Los Angeles—a true sanctuary of nature and elegance.
