A Cape Cod-Style Retreat in L.A.’s Studio City

Ciara Corrigan • July 22, 2025

Secluded behind gates at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, 11818 Laurel Hills Road blends timeless East Coast architecture with laid-back, sunny Southern California luxury. Spanning over 4,100 square feet of living space on a 13,325-square-foot lot, this home offers the perfect retreat for families, creatives, or anyone looking to escape the hustle of L.A. without leaving it.

Upon arrival, the property impresses with an expansive layout, park-like grounds, and unobstructed canyon and mountain views. An enchanting, light and bright Cape Cod-meets-Cali coast main residence includes six bedrooms and four bathrooms, an inviting open-concept floor plan, and details that evoke warmth and comfort. 

A French stone hearth and wood-burning fireplace center the living area, while the chef’s kitchen is outfitted with Viking appliances, granite counters, a Bosch dishwasher, wine cooler, and full pantry. Nearby, the formal dining space is perfect for hosting holiday meals or daily family dinners. 

A spacious primary suite boasts a second fireplace, a full sitting area, custom walk-in closets, and a serene bath with French stone floors, a clawfoot soaking tub, and glass walk-in shower. 

One of the home’s most unique features is the oversized open loft playroom—a light-flooded flex space with floor-to-ceiling windows framing lush treetop vistas. There’s also a dedicated office with skylights and private entrance (ideal for work-from-home professionals), as well as a private guest suite with its own balcony.

At the back of the property sits a newly built guest house with a dedicated street entrance, full bath, and ample potential; its versatile space could serve as extended family quarters, a creative studio, or even a rental opportunity.

Outside, find an amenity-rich backyard with custom redwood decks, a pebble-tech pool with a built-in spa and diving board, and Control4 surround sound for a Hollywood Bowl-level musical experience. Lavender, citrus, and birch trees offer shade and ambiance.
