2477 Canyon Oak Drive Los Angeles , CA 90068

There are houses that belong to the city, and there are houses that resist it. This 1937 Streamline Moderne estate in The Oaks - a neighborhood carved into the Hollywood Hills where the city exhales - does the latter. A rare offering, the home spans 4,804 square feet, set discreetly on a 20,415-square-foot lot, buffered by mature trees and the quiet knowledge that privacy is a kind of wealth. The architecture curve walls bend like the deck of a ship, a nod to a time when even stillness was designed to move. Double-height ceilings lift the living room into a volume of light; a 20-foot fireplace anchors the space like a memory you return to. Skylights diffuse L.A.'s stubborn sun into something more forgiving. The kitchen, fitted with a SubZero fridge and Viking range, is a place for rituals: morning coffee in the built-in breakfast nook, the pond just outside offering its reflection without asking for attention. Upstairs, the primary suite watches the city from a distance, its balcony suspended above it all. Downstairs: a screening room, wet bar, and two bedrooms opening to a pool carved with intention - waterfalls, grotto spa, and a lawn wide enough to remember how to breathe. This is The Oaks, near Griffith Park trails, Los Feliz's cafes, and just far enough from the noise to hear yourself think.
