The Lake Villa

With the kind of cinematic reveal that only Los Angeles can pull off, The Lake Villa welcomes you.

The house, which is located in the sought-after Lake Hollywood neighborhood, features a contemporary farmhouse silhouette that is both timeless and up to date. It then draws your attention to the Hollywood Sign, which is a recognizable landmark that is expertly framed beyond undulating hills and treetops. The bustle of the city fades away as soon as you enter this serene, well-lit space where size, fine craftsmanship, and careful planning combine to create effortless daily living and simple, sophisticated entertaining.

The family room, dining area, and kitchen are all connected in an open, practical layout on the entry level, allowing the day’s rhythm to flow smoothly. When the glass walls slide away, the interior opens up to terraces and landscaped grounds that give the impression that the house is larger than its actual size. Glass walls let in light from dawn until golden hour.

Anchored by a statement hearth and flanked by built-in shelving for both display and functionality, the family room brings people together without being crowded. Positioned for informal meals that develop into extended evenings with friends, the adjacent dining area facilitates conversation and movement. A spacious island serves as the social hub, with espresso at dawn, tasting boards at dusk, and late-night stories lit by pendant lights. Custom cabinetry, stone counters, and high-end appliances in the kitchen create a polished workhorse.

The Lake Villa respects privacy just as much as it values community. To provide equal comfort for family members and visitors, the six bedrooms are set up as true suites, each with a separate bathroom. Views of the Hollywood Sign or the hillside are captured by the windows, and some rooms have terraces that invite peaceful times spent reading and enjoying the breeze. Daily routines feel elevated rather than mundane thanks to the home’s eight bathrooms, which all have precise fixtures, tactile materials, and lighting that flatters at any time of day.

Wellness and leisure are given their own wings. With immersive sound, tiers of seats, and acoustics that allow a whisper to be heard, a modern home theater places the movie at the center of the experience. The gym is well-lit and well-located so that a morning workout can seamlessly transition into the rest of the day. A temperature-controlled wine cellar can serve as a stage and storage space for collectors and hosts. It is well-maintained, climate-stable, and prepared for private tastings or festive dinners.

The Lake Villa’s contemporary farmhouse style is a material dialogue that strikes a balance between warmth and accuracy rather than a costume. Natural finishes and organic textures soften clean lines and wide openings, and energy-efficient systems maintain a calm and comfortable interior. The house reacts as you move through it—bright for preparation, dim for dining, and calm for late-night returns—thanks to a smart infrastructure that subtly controls the climate, lighting, shades, and security. Every transition—mudroom, pantry, utility, and entry—has been designed for real life, circulation is simple, and storage is where you want it.

The property features a series of outdoor areas that are suited to the environment. Terraces for dining are set up alongside a lawn for play; mature plants and hedges provide seclusion without obstructing the view. The Sign maintains its sentinel position as conversations linger beneath the stars as the evening casts a gentle glow over the façade and the hills beyond. Arrivals are polite from the moment you step through the door, parking is plentiful and discrete, and departures always seem premature.

The promise includes location. You can reach studios and trailheads, local cafés and destination eateries, and the creative hub that characterizes the city in just a short distance from this peaceful area above the reservoir. With the skyline perfectly framed, the Sign just outside the glass, and a home that can accommodate work and exercise, dinners and movie screenings, solitude and celebration, every visit to The Lake Villa feels like a fresh start.

Activities nearby that you can partake in from the villa:

• For tranquil water views and recognizable views of the Hollywood Sign, take a stroll or jog around the Lake Hollywood Reservoir loop.
• Follow the Wonder View or Brush Canyon trails to the Sign, then take a detour to Griffith Observatory to watch the sunset.
• For rides, food, and live entertainment, spend a day at Universal Studios Hollywood and Universal CityWalk.
