Reduced $500,000. Hidden behind gates and enveloped by nearly an acre of mature foliage, towering bamboo, vineyard rows, and meandering garden paths, this deeply private Nichols Canyon retreat unfolds like a hidden world unto itself. Here, the sounds of the city give way to rustling leaves, birdsong, flickering firelight, and the quiet rhythm of nature.Crafted from wood, stone, and expanses of glass, the residence embraces an organic architectural language that feels at once grounded and transportive. Sunlight filters softly through the trees and across richly tactile interiors, where warm timber, hand-finished materials, and walls of sliding glass dissolve the boundary between indoors and out. Every space feels connected to the surrounding landscape.The property was designed not simply as a home, but as a sanctuary for creative life and meaningful retreat. Multiple lounge terraces, a secluded pool framed by mature greenery, alfresco dining areas beneath the canopy, and intimate spaces for conversation or solitude create an atmosphere more reminiscent of a boutique resort than a traditional HollywoodHills estate.Designed for both entertaining and escape, the home additionally features a private screening room, wine cellar, and a hillside Syrah vineyard of approximately 80 vines, lending the property an added sense of romance and cultivated California living.Despite its extraordinary sense of escape and seclusion, the home sits moments fromChateau Marmont, Sunset Tower, Runyon Canyon, Soho House, and some of Los Angeles most celebrated dining, shopping, wellness, and cultural destinations.

The Byron Lamar Johnson House - Craig Ellwood, 1953 | Few homes carry a story this rare. The Byron Lamar Johnson House is the third in Craig Ellwoods celebrated series of steel hillside residences a canon of mid-century architecture so significant it earned its own headline: "Beauty of the House of Steel," Los Angeles Examiner. This is not a home that merely references the era. It is the era, meticulously restored and ready to be lived in today. Perched at the crown of Crestwood Hills on one of Brentwoods most prestigious addresses, Ellwoods signature steel columns and wooden beams lift the structure off the hillside in a seamless floating composition. By day, the Pacific stretches to Catalina Island. By night, the lights of Los Angeles shimmer below the living room like a private panorama that never gets old.The restoration is as serious as the pedigree. Seismically upgraded, structurally pristine, and finished with the kind of intention that honors Ellwoods design ethos without compromising modern comfort. Terrazzo floors, Lutron lighting, Fleetwood and Baldwin doors and windows, Waterworks fixtures, motorized shades, and a restored gas and wood-burning fireplace every material decision was made with care. The kitchen carries the same conviction: Gaggenau, Wolf, and Sub-Zero appliances, complemented by a full outdoor kitchen with Lynx barbecue and pizza oven. The property comes fully automated with solar panels, Tesla Powerwalls, EV charging, whole-house water filtration, and a brand new roof with rooftop sprinkler system.
