About This Property
An artful retreat set on a quiet street in the serene hills of
Tujunga. Meticulously updated by Onsen Studio as their personal
residence and published in Dwell, the home is perfectly appointed
and rich with calm, creative energy. Light defines the experience
of the home, shifting beautifully throughout the day. Mornings
begin with dappled light filtering through the trees, afternoons
glow warm and bright, and evenings settle into a dramatic sunset
that washes the interiors in a soft orange hue. Reached by a path
lined with mature native landscaping, the home unfolds slowly,
offering a true treehouse feeling while remaining grounded,
comfortable, and welcoming. The living room is warm and inviting,
with expansive windows and an airy balcony that pulls the lush
surroundings inside. Cork floors, beamed ceilings, painted wood
paneling, and a freestanding wood-burning stove set into a brick
surround create character and a sense of ease. Original
stained-glass windows throughout the home add vintage charm and
cast subtle, colorful light across the interiors. The space flows
effortlessly into the dining room, which feels both spacious and
dreamy. Oversized casement windows frame the greenery outside,
while original hand-painted brick walls add depth and texture. The
kitchen has been thoughtfully updated and features butcher-block
countertops and new Bosch appliances, with a separate laundry area
just beyond leading to the garden. The two bedrooms are spacious
and serene, offering quiet, restorative spaces. The bathroom has
been completely renovated with all new fixtures, a striking
skylight, and beautifully considered design. The back bedroom opens
directly to the backyard, creating an easy, intimate connection to
the outdoors. Outside, the backyard is quintessential California
living. Step out to a Cumaru Brazilian teak deck, an outdoor
shower, and fresh landscaping designed for both relaxation and
gathering. A gentle stone-lined path leads up to the detached
creative studio, soundproofed and currently used as a music space,
offering endless possibilities for creativity, work, or retreat.
Just moments from McGroarty Art Center, Joselito's Mexican Food,
the expansive trailheads of Angeles National Forest, and the charm
of Montrose Village. Perfectly positioned in the heart of Tujunga,
this special home offers a rare combination of creative
architecture, serene natural surroundings, and everyday livability.
