THE TOHL SKY HOUSE | A Jeff Tohl Architectural, South of the Blvd. Some houses are built. This one was composed. Designed by acclaimed architect Jeff Tohl, this three-level "sky house" rises above Studio City's most coveted pocket, *south of Ventura, Carpenter School District* and fills with light from more than 100 windows and skylights. Twenty-five-foot ceilings and walls of glass frame canyon, mountain, and city-light views from nearly every room; the house doesn't have a view so much as it lives inside one. The recently updated interiors keep the architecture honest: hardwood floors, multiple French doors, and a chef's kitchen with brand-new Monogram appliances, center island, and dedicated wine bar. A private ELEVATOR serves all levels, vertical living without the stairs. The primary suite is its own retreat: fireplace, private patio with elevated creative space, and a remodeled marble bath with soaking tub. Flexible bonus rooms become a screening room, recording studio, gym, or 5th/6th bedroom. Space that adapts to how its owner actually works and creates. Outside, the hillside unfolds in Corten-steel and redwood terraces, two lush gardens with lemon, peach, fig, and pomegranate trees, three balconies, and a grassy dining terrace set against the panorama. Multi-zone HVAC, two-car garage with EV outlet, and 400-amp service complete it. Steps to Ventura Blvd's cafes and shops. For the buyer who was never going to live in an ordinary house: this is the one the neighborhood points to.
