8520 OAK COURT

Private, Laurel Canyon hillside home with music history and magical views. - Private, Laurel Canyon hillside home with music history and magical views. The home was totally remodeled in 2019/20 to reflect its original midcentury aesthetic. An open floor plan was restored, bedrooms were enlarged, and a covered outdoor porch was added to bring the home to a total 1440 sq. ft. A new kitchen and bar feature white cabinetry, mahogany countertops and charming Spanish tile -- all atop a dark, plank floor. New bathrooms boast walk-in showers, porcelain tile and stained-glass windows. A modern utility room opens to another private patio, and a 120 sq. ft. basement provides ample storage with a second refrigerator. Reached by a tram called a Hill-a-Vator, the house was owned for decades by classic rock DJ Jim Ladd. From “The Ladd Pad,” Jim broadcast his SiriusXM music show, and icons such as The Eagles, Jackson Browne, Crosby Stills Nash & Young, and The Doors came to hang out and jam.
