AIRY ABODE
STUDIO CITY MID CENTURY MODERN HOME BY ARCHITECT MIMS J. JACKSON JR.

11688 Laurelwood Drive, Studio City, CA | $1,400,000 | 3 BD | 2 BA
This is an opportunity to own a piece of history. This Studio City Mid-Century home, nestled in the hills south of the Boulevard on an expansive lot, is primed for its next chapter.

This striking home is filled with original details and thoughtful architectural touches. With great flow, abundant natural light, and spectacular views from the front and back yards, this property offers everything we love about mid century modern design. There are also multiple patios for enjoying the outdoors and connecting with nature.

The original architect/owner, Mims J. Jackson Jr has a penchant for sliding doors and vaulted ceilings. This is evident throughout the house, creating an airy, open and adaptable feel. Large windows and floor-to-ceiling glass let in plenty of natural light, and the overall effect is a bright, airy space. Jackson was clearly ahead of his time in design, and his influence can still be seen in modern architecture.

The dining room enjoys walls of glass that offer stunning views of the outdoors, and what’s not to love about the classic bookcase wall divider. The primary suite is located at the front of the home, taking advantage of the valley views, while the two other bedrooms are at the back with hillside views. The third bedroom is currently being used as an office.

The kitchen was updated and a dining area was added in the late ’80s, including an indoor grill, more storage space, and extra countertops. The current owners have lovingly updated the home while keeping its original character intact.

The terraced garden area beyond the back deck is awaiting its next chapter. The long driveway leads up to the 2-car carport, providing ample off-street parking. This home is just waiting for a new owner to come in and make it their own!
