A two-story home in Hollywood Hills East, close to ritzy Los Feliz, recently landed on the market following a stellar renovation that upgraded its timeless architectural style for modern-day living.
The comprehensive renovation — carried out by award-winning, bi-coastal design firm Tim Campbell Studios — took two years to complete and added an additional 1,000 square feet of living space to the 1960s-built residence, along with modern finishes like Fleetwood sliding doors and large floor-to-ceiling windows to maximize views.
And there’s no shortage of stunning views, as the home enjoys an unbeatable location.
Set behind the gates of an exclusive enclave in Valley Oak, the property at 5757 Valley Oak Drive is located in the Hollywood Hills East region of Los Angeles, close to Los Feliz — a neighborhood often referred to as The Oaks — and within proximity to several city landmarks and top attractions.
The ideally located house is currently listed for $5,995,000, with Alex Barad of Nourmand & Associates, who was kind enough to give us the lowdown on the property’s extensive upgrades.

Tucked inside an exclusive gated community
Sitting on a 0.46-acre lot, the house is part of the exclusive Valley Oak Drive, a gated community tucked away in the Hollywood Hills at the base of Bronson Canyon.
“The house is part of a gated community of 28 homes, making it a special enclave within the neighborhood, including current celebrity neighbors and previous celebrity resident of the community, Brad Pitt,” listing agent Alex Barad of Nourmand & Associates tells us.
Offering sweeping views
“The house is at the top of the street with sweeping 270-degree views of Los Angeles,” Alex adds. “Surrounded by mature pine trees and nature, it feels like you could be somewhere off the beaten path, yet all of Los Angeles is just moments from your driveway.”
The home has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms
The recently revamped home has 4 bedrooms, 4 baths, a media room/den that opens to the pool area, a primary bedroom with sweeping views and an oversized balcony, and a two-car garage.
It underwent recent upgrades to the tune of $2.5M
Originally built in 1964, the Valley Oak Drive home underwent a massive overhaul at the hands of the current owner.
Alex Barad filled in the blanks for us: “The current owner purchased the house in 2012 and completed a 2-year, $2.5-million renovation using Tim Campbell Studios for the architectural design.”
Adding more square footage & an open floorplan
“The renovation added over 1,000 square feet, installed large floor-to-ceiling windows and Fleetwood sliding doors to maximize the 20-foot ceilings and sweeping panoramic views. The two-story, open modern floorplan ensures the house is consistently bathed in natural light and even after living there for years and years, your jaw is certain to hit the floor every time you come home.”
And large windows that frame panoramic views of Los Angeles
The two-story living and dining area is flanked by large windows and sliding glass doors that open up to panoramic city and canyon views.
It also has a sleek kitchen
The 4-bedroom home features a sleek kitchen with high-end finishes and appliances that seamlessly flows into the inviting dining and seating area.
A media room with sliding doors
