About 7530 Sunnywood Lane
Tucked away at the end of a cul-de-sac in coveted Upper Nichols Canyon Colony, this post-and-beam jewel is more than a home-it is a living work of art. Originally crafted in 1959 by Modern Trend Construction Co., whose collaborations included celebrated architects Richard Dorman and Edward Fickett, this residence is part of the storied "Hollywood Highlands" enclave- a midcentury architectural neighborhood of wide streets, sidewalks, and clean lines unobstructed by power poles. From the moment you step inside, natural light and architectural detail define the experience. A skylit entryway frames sweeping views of Briar Summit Open Space Preserve, inviting you deeper into the home. The generous foyer leads into a dramatic and spacious living room, where floor-to-ceiling windows create a luminous backdrop of sky, patio, and pool. Walls of glass span the rear facade, dissolving the boundary between indoors and outdoors and embodying the quintessential Southern California lifestyle. The main living spaces flow effortlessly- living, dining, and primary suite all open to the private pool and terrace. The primary suite is a serene retreat, complete with clerestory windows, a walk-in closet, and sliding doors to the patio and pool. Its en-suite bath mirrors the architectural rhythm, with windows that usher in natural light, enhanced by automated shades that provide privacy at the touch of a button. The flexible floor plan includes a bedroom opened to create a den/office, easily restorable to a private bedroom if desired. A third bedroom has sliding glass doors to a private patio and garden retreat. Modern upgrades blend seamlessly with midcentury character: Solar panels, solar pool heating, an EV charger, a whole-home backup generator, new HVAC (2024), new porcelain tile flooring (2025), and a recently replaced roof and garage door. Outdoors, enjoy a secluded oasis shaded by mature landscaping and prolific grapefruit and peach trees- alongside the sparkling pool, a natural extension of the home's indoor-outdoor design. Centrally located just off Mulholland Drive, this rare architectural offering places you minutes from Studio City, Hollywood, and Burbank's studios, while maintaining a sense of retreat and privacy. This is not simply a residence. It is an emblem of midcentury modern design- an architectural statement, preserved and refined for contemporary living.
