This house in the hills above the Cahuenga Pass is one of the Boathouses, a group of homes built on small, steep lots. The architect, Harry Gesner, worked with Norwegian boatbuilders to create them, using glass walls and open floor plans to maximize space and natural light. The property is less than 10 minutes from the Universal Studios Hollywood theme park and CityWalk, an outdoor shopping and dining center, in Universal City. Driving to Studio City or Hollywood takes about 15 minutes. Downtown Los Angeles is about 20 minutes away.
Size: 1,136 square feet Price per square foot: $1,452 Indoors: The bright orange front door, framed by the carport, opens into the main living area, which has high ceilings; room for separate sitting and dining areas; a wood-burning Malm stove with a raised hearth; floor-to-ceiling windows; and glass doors that open to a deck with expansive hillside views. Behind this space is a galley kitchen with stainless steel appliances, including a gas stove and a double oven built into the wall. A raised platform off the kitchen is big enough for a home-office setup or a workout area. Both bedrooms are on the lower level, reached from stairs at the center of the house. The primary bedroom has a built-in bed, beamed ceilings and a slanted wall of glass looking out into the trees. The other bedroom is big enough to hold a queen-size bed. The full bathroom, also on this level, has a floating wood vanity and a shower with a glass door.
Outdoor space: The deck off the living room, which is big enough to hold chairs and a small table, is partially covered by a roof overhang and has a view of the Hollywood sign in the distance. The carport has one parking space and an electric vehicle charger. Taxes: $20,628 (estimated)
