3860 Sunswept Dr Studio City, CA 91604

Set behind gates and a long private driveway, the Sunswept Compound by architect Barbara Bestor, with a recent refresh by Swike and gardens by Judy Kameon of Elysian Landscapes, is an exceptionally private modern-ranch retreat set on more than half an acre. With sweeping mountain views, a flat grassy yard, pool, spa, and detached guest house, the property embodies the spirit of LA living--architectural pedigree, seamless indoor-outdoor flow, and layered, artful detail. A private and gated landscaped approach leads to the residence, where the signature open living space unfolds. Recently restored by its current owner, the living room, dining area, and chef's kitchen--anchored by a substantial island--extend through pocketing Fleetwood doors to the outdoor dining terrace, lounge, and separate outdoor kitchen. Quintessentially Californian, this is indoor-outdoor living at its best. Flooded with natural light from skylights and expansive windows, the home is equally suited for intimate gatherings or large-scale entertaining, with multiple spaces to socialize around the fire pit, pool, gardens, or outdoor fireplace. The spacious primary suite offers a sizable closet and en-suite bath, with Fleetwood doors that frame lush gardens and open directly to the cedar soaking tub and outdoor shower. On the opposite wood-paneled wing, three guest bedrooms await: a private guest suite featuring an en-suite 3/4 bathroom, as well as two additional bedrooms with a shared full bath. The lower level offers a generous informal living room, ideal as a den, playroom, or screening room. The detached bonus structure on the property features a kitchenette and bath, providing flexible space for visitors or an at-home office. A third structure, a separate pool house, features a sauna, 3/4 bath, and additional storage. Rounding out the grounds are two separate and distinct areas for vegetable gardens, mature trees throughout, and parking for more than six cars. Sunswept is at once private, pedigreed, and deeply livable--an extraordinary creative compound designed for both entertaining and everyday life, just moments from Erewhon, Equinox, and the best Ventura Boulevard has to offer.
