This 5 bedroom, 4 bath house and just over 2,900 sq. ft. is ready for the creative buyer to make a mark.

This high up into the canyon, Mulholland Drive reigns a favorite feature for locals and tourists alike. Its length and many scenic pull offs make it an ideal way to see the city and valley from a different and higher vantage point.

Once you’ve experienced the restfulness of Laurel Canyon, the amenities of living on top abound. A short stroll to the north side of Mulholland is the Nancy Hoover Pohl Overlook for stunning views of the San Fernando Valley, a physical fitness course, and access into the canyon trails below.

It’s namesake was Fryman canyon resident Nancy Hoover Pohl, who had a vision to preserve the local Santa Monica Mountains and create local parkland. Her 60-year effort enabled the acquisition of Fryman Canyon Park which can be accessed from the overlook, Coldwater Canyon Park, and Wilacre Park. Nancy Hoover Pohl was also instrumental in the establishment of the five-mile Betty B. Dearing Mountain Trail, which is also accessible from 8660 Allenwood’s front door.
