About this home

**A One-of-a-Kind Artistic Retreat Atop Mount Helix** Some homes are simply places to live. Others have a way of capturing your heart. Welcome to 9701 Sunset Avenue, an extraordinary artistic retreat perched atop Mount Helix, where breathtaking views, thoughtful design, and undeniable charm create a home unlike any other. Filled with personality, warmth, and unique architectural details, this special home invites you to slow down and appreciate the beauty around you. Expansive windows frame sweeping views from throughout the home, where hawks soar gracefully across the sky by day and the gentle calls of owls accompany the sparkling city lights at night. Here, outdoor living is a way of life. An abundance of inviting patios and seating areas offers the perfect setting for morning coffee and a good book, alfresco dinners with friends, or a glass of wine as the sun sets over the city below. For the creative spirit, a **brand-new, light-filled studio with beautiful accordion doors** provides an inspiring space to paint, create, or simply take in the spectacular surroundings. Equally suited as a home office, gym, or peaceful retreat, this versatile space is as beautiful as it is functional. Lovingly maintained by a meticulous owner, the home features a **new roof, new siding, new laundry room, new air vents throughout, and fresh interior and exterior paint**, blending thoughtful improvements with its distinctive character. 9701 Sunset Avenue is more than a home. It's a place to find inspiration, embrace nature, entertain under the stars, and savor life's simplest pleasures
