Architectural and artistic pedigree converge at this striking reimagined modern residence in lower Nichols Canyon once home and studio to acclaimed National Geographic photographer Gerd Ludwig. Originally designed by Youssef H. Amin, AIA, this 5BD/8BA estate features soaring ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows, gallery-style entertaining spaces, and seamless indoor-outdoor flow with breathtaking canyon views from every room. The expansive primary suite offers a fireplace, two private terraces, an oversized walk-in closet with center island, and a spa-like bathroom bathed in natural light featuring dual vanities, a freestanding tub, and dual showers, one with a built-in steam option. Additional ensuite bedrooms showcase curated designer finishes throughout. Both living levels also include custom wet bars with wine refrigerators, elevating the home's entertainment potential. Step outside to a newly constructed entertainer's dream: an expansive deck with a sparkling pool, built-in BBQ, and bar seating, offering the ideal backdrop for alfresco dining and sunset lounging. Additional amenities include an elevator from the garage to the main entrance and a spacious two- car garage. Private, gated, and just minutes from Hollywood, Runyon Canyon, and the Sunset Strip, this home is a rare fusion of creative legacy, refined design, and modern luxury in the heart of the Hollywood Hills.
