8805 Lookout Mountain Ave

Hidden up a long, private drive lies a hidden treasure with a storied Hollywood past.

Once the home and studio of artist and award-winning costume designer, Theodora Van Runkle best known for Bonnie and Clyde, The Godfather II, Myra Breckinridge and other major films, this enchanting jewel box compound radiates creativity, legacy, and magic. Perfectly situated on over 1/3 acre, the land is remarkably flat - a rare find in Laurel Canyon. The main residence feels timeless and ethereal, boasting a beautifully updated kitchen and primary bathroom adorned with original details, stained glass, and elegant finishes. An attached artist's studio is marvelously set at the base of a 30-foot wine barrel, and a separate casita offers a serene retreat for guests. The grounds are whimsical and magical; a nature sanctuary where imagination knows no bounds. New outdoor kitchen, enchanting archways and paths, expansive decks with sweeping canyon views and paved, off-street parking for several cars make for effortless entertaining. Previously a social haven for cultural luminaries such as Joni Mitchell, Jim Morrison, Frank Zappa and John Lennon, this home has captivating creative energy that still lingers in the air. Whether seeking a peaceful retreat, space to collaborate, or a unique blend of nature and urban convenience, this property has it all. Located in the Wonderland School District with easy access to the vibrant Sunset scene, Hollywood Blvd, Mulholland, Ventura Blvd, and Studio City. A diamond in the rough, this is an opportunity rarely found and not to be missed!
