Come find peace and quiet in legendary Laurel Canyon. Worlds away yet in the heart of the city, this home was built as part of the renowned Wonderland Park neighborhood in 1962. Wonderland Park was designed around the big ideals of integration, community, architecture, design, and progressiveness. This very special home is situated on Wonderland Park Ave and is the location of the famous pandemic porch concert series in 2020. Rare for the neighborhood is the incredible amount of parking, on property and street side. The home is striking distance to the finest shopping, dining and entertainment of the Sunset Strip, Beverly Hills, Hollywood and the San Fernando Valley, Universal City and Burbank. Minutes from Blue Ribbon Wonderland Elementary. Upon arriving you are greeted by an incredible craftsman style facade and 180 sq ft, covered front porch. Enjoy relaxing on the tranquil porch, perched high above street level with views of the trees and up to the top of the canyon. You enter the home through an antique 1919 wood door, that time travels you to 1700 sq ft of mid century modern open plan living space. Immediately you are greeted by the expanse of the living room with high wood beam ceilings, banks of windows and a wood burning fireplace that sits as the cog of the space with living, dining and kitchen areas surrounding it. There are lots of interesting architectural features, you must see it in person. The home has 3 bedrooms and one office/gym/studio room with original floor to ceiling windows that look out the back of the house onto the large patio living area and wildland. The primary ensuite is unique with a step-down approach and private bathroom. The room features a large updated built-in closet with all the bells and an additional home office area. The other two bedrooms are ample, and all feature hardwood floors. The second bathroom is large with a spa-like tub and plenty of filtered light. The flooring throughout the kitchen, dining room, entry, bathrooms, and hallways is Italian tile. Windows stretch along all back walls of the house and look out onto a house length patio, perfect for setting up kids' recreation, outdoor dining and entertaining. The expansive 11,000 sq ft lot stretches out beyond and up the mountain behind the house and is home to lots of natural flora and fauna and adds to the already private and peaceful vibe of this home. The home has a lot of internal storage space and a two-car garage with lots of cabinets and space to store your gear as well as your cars. If you are looking for a very special unique home in one of the most interesting, artistic and historical neighborhoods in LA you don't want to miss this opportunity.
