8162 Kirkwood Drive

Set on one of the most expansive and quietly tucked-away lots in Laurel Canyon, this enchanting compound spans nearly half an acre across three hillside parcels and features two 1920s hunting cottages full of vintage character. Enveloped beneath a canopy of mature oak trees, this unique property offers rare flexibility: enjoy the existing multi-structure layout as a guest house or artist's studio or live in one and rent the other. Each one-bedroom, one-bath cottage is a self-contained hideaway, with the main house offering a permitted bonus room ideal as an office, studio, or additional bedroom. Inside, wood-paneled walls, exposed beams, and sunlit living areas frame garden and canyon views. Leaded glass windows, oak floors, and other thoughtful architectural details lend warmth and soul throughout. Outside, Bouquet Canyon stone paths wind through terraced grounds dotted with mature oaks, evergreens, and low-maintenance native landscaping. The main cottage opens to an expansive deck with built-in seating, perfect for entertaining. A brick patio at the rear offers space for al fresco dining your own private amphitheater of greenery, frequented by birds, squirrels, and canyon wildlife. A rare opportunity with a flexible footprint, income potential, and long-term value in one of L.A.'s most sought-after neighborhoods.
