CELEBRATE SUNSHINE EVERY DAY
STUDIO CITY MID CENTURY MODERN HOME

11688 Laurelwood Drive, Studio City, CA | $2,388,000 | 3 BD | 3 BA
Rare chance to reside in a meticulously renovated Studio City Mid Century Modern home featuring breathtaking views. Originally crafted by renowned architect Mims Jackson, Jr. as his personal residence, this elevated site was thoughtfully chosen for unparalleled privacy and captivating vistas to the north and south. This is the latest project by Andreas Larsson, the founder of HabHouse, renowned for his meticulous architectural property rehabilitations in Los Angeles.

The structure itself seems to extend towards the panoramic views of the city below, reaching across the expansive San Fernando Valley. This engaging dialogue between the house and its surroundings reaches a dramatic crescendo in the living area—a space that seems to be alive with architectural drama. An imposing brick fireplace, with its lengthy hearth, serves as the anchor, grounding the room with its robust presence. Classic mid-century details, such as a mitered glass corner window and spider leg beam work overhead, celebrate all there is to love about the era.

At the heart of the home, there is a newly renovated kitchen, a hub where functionality meets style. Bathed in the warmth of meticulously crafted custom cabinetry, it offers a perfect blend of aesthetic appeal and practical design. The cabinetry provides plenty of well-organized storage space, while a wraparound countertop workspace provides room for food prep and presentation.

The harmonious integration of indoor and outdoor spaces makes the residence an ideal venue for social gatherings and entertainment. The open floor plan allows guests to navigate between the indoors and out effortlessly. This updated union of the proven mantra, “form follows function,” sets the stage for aspirational living.

Surrounding the house are several patios, gardens and decks, each offering breathtaking views and direct access to the home. The outdoor living spaces are just as inviting as the indoor ones, creating a seamless blend of indoor and outdoor living infused with classic natural beauty.

The integration of modern updates around the home’s original structure not only breathes new life into the residence but also preserves its design integrity. A distinctive front facade is established by a post and beam trellis, providing a shaded area at the entrance.
