Hidden behind gates on nearly an acre of lush foliage, this 6,068-square-foot Nichols Canyon retreat offers 5 bedrooms, 6 baths, and a private vineyard. Designed by Stephen Kanner, it's a serene escape above Sunset Boulevard.
Hidden behind gates and wrapped in nearly an acre of towering bamboo, vineyard rows, and mature foliage, 2424 Nichols Canyon Road feels like a world away from the city. Perched above Sunset Boulevard, this private sanctuary lets you trade traffic noise for rustling leaves and birdsong. It's the kind of place where you can breathe again.
### A Home That Melds With Nature
Crafted from wood, stone, and sweeping glass walls, this 6,068-square-foot residence feels both grounded and transportive. Legendary architect Stephen Kanner reimagined the space, bringing his playful use of light and modern style to every corner. The result? A home that feels like it grew right out of the hillside.
Sunlight filters softly through trees, warming the richly tactile interiors. Warm timber, hand-finished materials, and sliding glass doors blur the line between inside and out. Every room connects to the landscape.
### 5 Bedrooms, 6 Baths, and a Storied Past
This 5-bedroom, 6-bath home has hosted some serious cultural heavyweights. Singer-songwriter JD Souther, producer Ilene Chaiken, and actor Henry Beckman all called it home. Its sanctuary-like qualities drew them in, and you'll feel that same pull.
### Outdoor Living at Its Finest
The outdoor spaces rival any boutique resort. Multiple lounge terraces, a secluded pool framed by greenery, and alfresco dining areas under the canopy invite you to slow down. There are also intimate nooks for conversation or solitude—perfect for both entertaining and escape.
- Private screening room for movie nights
- Wine cellar to stock your favorites
- Hillside Syrah vineyard with about 80 vines (a touch of romance and California living)
### Location That Balances Seclusion and Convenience
Despite its extraordinary sense of escape, this home sits moments from iconic spots like Chateau Marmont, Sunset Tower, Runyon Canyon, and Soho House. You're also close to LA's best dining, shopping, wellness, and cultural destinations. It's the best of both worlds.
