Exposed timber beams with floor-to-ceiling glass create a seamless flow between inside and out: this is a house that was made to be lived in, deeply and well. Tucked into the hillside of Laurel Canyon, the heart of Los Angeles creativity, The Kimmelman House offers something increasingly rare: a vintage property with genuine history, character, and soul. As featured in Dwell magazine.

The driveway and carport has enough room for 4 cars.

LIVING SPACES

A grand open-plan living and dining room with floor-to-ceiling sliding windows, an original stone & tile fireplace, deep sofas surrounded by music, art, plants and books. A piano is available for guests.

KITCHEN

Original oak cabinetry in warm teak tones with Miele appliances, Sub-Zero refrigerator and fully stocked with most cook’s appliances; from KitchenAid stand mixer to Lelit espresso machine and grinder. An open, sociable space with easy functionality. Adjacent to the kitchen is the dining area - a generous, light-filled space with back yard views on two sides plus a separate TV nook with built-in timber banquette seating, a full wall of books, and its own intimate atmosphere.

OUTDOORS

The outdoor spaces are as considered as the interior. A lap pool and hot tub sit at the heart of the property, surrounded by various areas for dining and relaxing, a sculptural hillside garden of succulents and native plants, a ping pong table, an outdoor shower and outdoor grill station, raised vegetable beds and citrus trees— all enclosed by the natural beauty of the canyon.

LAUNDRY ROOM

Separate laundry room with large washing machine and Miele dryer.

BEDROOM 1

A serene king bedroom with clerestory windows and a floating wall separating the walk-in closet and en-suite shower room with toilet and basin.

BEDROOM 2

A generous double corner room enveloped by light on two sides. Includes wardrobe, built-in shelving and desk, and its own distinct character.

BEDROOM 3 — STUDIO

A beautifully designed home office with a pool-side outlook and south facing light. Doubles as a guest room with a trundle bed sleeping two, making it equally suited to visiting family or creative professionals on longer stays who need a dedicated workspace.

FAMILY BATHROOM

Bathtub and shower, double basin, toilet. Original mid-century cabinetry.

GUEST WASHROOM

Toilet and basin just off the living room near the front door.

GUEST HOUSE

Completely private from the main house yet just steps from the pool, the guest house is a fully self-contained architect-designed studio. Built with the same precision and material palette as the main residence: exposed timber beams, polished concrete floors, and glass on two sides opening onto the yard and pool terrace. Has its own bathroom with tub and shower, and a kitchenette.
