2424 Nichols Canyon Road

Stephen Kanner, FAIA

Set on nearly an acre of botanical grounds and secluded from the nearby Los Angeles urbanity, lies a verdant, gated architectural sanctuary, composed of a wood clad, glass and stone multi-level residence with a separate studio. Redesigned in 1991 for Eagles acclaimed songwriter, JD Souther by the architectural luminary Stephen Kanner, FAIA – creating a light-flushed canyon retreat with floor to ceiling glass windows and sliding wood windows throughout to capture the forested vistas beyond. 

Along a meandering path, the house opens up to an expansive living and dining room area with adjoining cozy den, leading to a chef’s kitchen and breakfast room that overlook the pool and gardens. Adjacent spaces include a more intimate library, a powder room, and a guest bedroom with ensuite bath. Welcoming fireplaces throughout.

Upstairs, the primary wing offers an expansive suite featuring a built-in sitting alcove, a large bathroom with glass corner picture windows, double closets and serene views of the surrounding vibrant landscape. The adjacent wing includes two additional bedrooms that share a full bath. A screening room with outdoor loggia, game room, wine cellar, laundry room and additional storage are located on the lower level.

The separate studio, with its proprietary veranda and rustic stone fireplace, provides an inspiring setting for creative pursuits.

Designed for effortless outdoor entertaining, the grounds include a large pool with nearby pool house bathroom, multiple lounging areas, a vineyard, and an alfresco dining pavilion with an outdoor firepit. Separate two-car garage within the enclosed motorcourt. Additional off-street parking.
