In the hills of Studio City, a 1930s farmhouse brings together old Los Angeles character, creative history, and a recent design-forward renovation. The residence sits behind gates on a 10,000-square-foot street-to-street lot, offering seclusion, outdoor space, and room for future flexibility.

The home’s creative connections are part of its story. Previously owned by Mix Master Mike of the Beastie Boys, the property has since been home to writer and producer Sneha Koorse and writer-producer Christopher Roessner. Koorse’s credits include work on The Lowdown, Daredevil, The Americans, and The Umbrella Academy, while Roessner is known for writing the Netflix film Sand Castle, inspired by his experience as a soldier in Iraq.

The home itself has been renovated by Studio Macdonald Libit with a careful balance of original character and contemporary detail, keeping the warmth of its 1930s farmhouse roots while adding a more design-led interior.

Inside, the 2,085-square-foot residence includes three bedrooms, three bathrooms, and two additional bonus spaces that can support work, guests, or creative use. The living room is anchored by vaulted ceilings and a fireplace, while the formal dining room has a distinctive paneled ceiling and Bardiglio and Carrara marble checkerboard floors.

The kitchen continues that balance of style and everyday use, with a built-in banquette, updated finishes, and designer lighting that carries into other living areas.

Outside, the property opens into a private setting shaped by native California landscaping, a newly installed saltwater pool, spa, cold plunge, and dedicated gym. A hidden speakeasy-style bar adds a more playful entertaining feature, while the newly rebuilt two-car garage includes an EV charger.

With a separate APN, the street-to-street site also offers potential for an accessory dwelling unit with its own entrance off Regal Place, creating possibilities for guests, rental income, or a dedicated creative studio.
