A Rare Outdoor Oasis In The Hills Of Los Angeles

Earlier this month, a 7-bed, 7-bath property in Beachwood Canyon known as “The Birdhouse” was listed for $2.695M by Nourmand & Associates agents Tina Marie Phan & Howard Stevens. This charming and sophisticated home features a sweeping 12,000 square-foot outdoor garden oasis, a rare find in the hills of Los Angeles, once home to the non-profit “At the Birdhouse” attracting a community inspired by caring for the land.

A hidden gem in the heart of the Hollywood Hills, this home offers a permaculture farm, protected habitat, and organic farm of 70+ fruit trees. The current owners purchased the property in 2014 and pursued their goals in creating a healing and arts center with events that included transforming medicinal plants grown in the garden, into teas, salves, and Hydrosols for the Beachwood community. The property gives a feeling of a natural sanctuary with an inviting garden perfect for those who love to entertain outdoors.

“At the Birdhouse” encouraged their community to participate in frequent programming, which included a Soil & Compost Workshop with Lynn Fang, Fire in California: The Memory and Future of the Land Panel Discussion, and Plant-Based Pasta: A Garden-to-Table Cooking Class with Chef Paige Murtaugh.

The home was originally built in 1922, and to this day still has original 1920s original details, hardwood flooring, and fireplaces throughout. Top features include an indoor chef’s kitchen and outdoor kitchen and bar area for entertaining, multiple terraces and outdoor seating areas, double French doors leading to a patio off the kitchen overlooking the hills, and natural sunlight throughout.
