About 3655 Wrightwood Drive
Some homes are renovated to follow a trend. Others are reimagined around what made them special in the first place. At 3655 Wrightwood Drive, the vision was never to erase the past, but to bring an exceptional piece of California mid-century architecture into its next chapter. Originally designed by celebrated Case Study architect Thornton M. Abell, this single-story residence sits behind gates, far back from the street on a private corner lot. A long driveway creates separation, while mature landscaping shields the property from the world beyond. Inside, original architecture and new design speak the same language. Exposed beams, walls of glass and the original fireplace meet stained white oak, Silver Travertine, Roman clay, marble and handmade Zellige. Nothing feels cold or overly polished. It is warm, textural, sophisticated and wonderfully restrained. The kitchen is almost sculptural, with a massive Silver Travertine island, custom white-oak cabinetry and Watermark fixtures. Approximately 3,100 square feet unfolds entirely on one level with four bedrooms, four baths and a flexible ADU/creative space. The transformation goes far beyond cosmetics: new plans and engineering, added square footage, interior reframing, and completely redone electrical, plumbing, HVAC and low voltage, plus new doors, windows, irrigation and drainage. Outside, the property opens to a private landscaped setting with an expansive lawn, mature trees and generous spaces for lounging, dining and entertaining. There is room to breathe here- a rarity this close to the heart of Studio City. Wrightwood
