La Cuesta was designed and built-in 1954 by Architect Val Powelson, AIA. This mid-century two-bedroom, two-bathroom + library post and beam home is a design lover's dream. Nestled in the Hollywood Hills one block from Mulholland, a quick walk away from Runyon Canyon. Every detail has been considered, and every material is quality. You will be surrounded by green spaces and a canyon view that you can enjoy from inside the home through the gigantic picture window walls or outside from the large wrap-around deck. This home is an entertainer's dream with an open-plan living room, dining room, and kitchen stocked with Bertazzoni and Bosch. Perfect for hosting a few friends or a big party. French doors throughout open up to a large deck and backyard with a lawn, garden, and mature fruit trees under a canopy of green. Bringing the outside in creates an endless space: with vaulted original wood ceilings, skylights, and more windows than walls in most rooms. You will rest well in the substantial main suite with an ensuite bathroom and walk-in closet. You will feel a world away in the middle of nature when you are just a few minutes away from everything you need. It is a gift to live in the space Val built.
