One of the most important variables in selecting a home is the school district that the property is located in, especially for buyers with young children. Well, the Laurel Canyon area of the Hollywood Hills just happens to have one the highest rated elementary schools in Los Angeles: Wonderland Avenue School.
Wonderland has been honored with the highly coveted California Distinguished School Award. Their consistently high API (Academic Performance Index) test scores rank them as #2 among all LAUSD elementary schools. The 2010 API score is 973.
Wonderland’s neighborhood school offers a kindergarten and grades 1-5 to students living in the school’s neighborhood. There are few houses within the school’s boundaries that are currently on the market. Below is the view from one of them:
One of the great things about living on Appian Way (besides the school district, of course) is that there are two access points, one from Laurel Canyon and the other from Sunset Plaza Dr, which that has been mentioned in a previous blog post. Very different scenery and feel from each street, and it’s definitely a plus to have different directions depending on the time of day (and the traffic).
This particular property has some sweet features such as high-end designer finishes, top of the line appliances, jet-liner views of well, everything and a YARD, which can be harder to find that you think in the hills, especially when you also have a great view and a price point of under 2 million bucks.
8841 Appian Way is a 4 bedroom, 3.5 bath modern residence with approximately 2500 sqft of living space, and is now priced at $1,795,000. See below for some great photos:
