Tucked away out of sight, the three-bedroom retreat is surrounded by a mahogany-planked forecourt and sweeping canyon views.

Another midcentury gem is now up for grabs in Los Angeles. Built in 1960, the historic property rests on a hilltop between Laurel Canyon and Sunset Plaza. The home offers 1,812 square feet of living space, split into three levels, along with an additional studio/guest suite with a private entry.

Nestled on the crest between Laurel Canyon and Sunset Plaza, the 1960 home at 8895 Appian Way offers the convenience of the city while also being located away from the hustle. Verdant landscaping extending along the front facade provides plenty of privacy.

Among the many notable aspects of the home, one standout feature is the the deck outside the front door, made of mahogany wood. Surrounded by fencing and lush vegetation, the space creates an unexpected entry sequence for the home and adds a feeling of seclusion from the surrounding city life.
