Modern 399 — Studio City Mid-Century Mansion Filming Location with Pool and Mountain Views

Built in 1962 and comprehensively modernized, this single-story Studio City mansion keeps its low-slung mid-century profile while giving productions a polished resort setting. It works especially well as a filming location because the house and grounds feel connected: the open rooms look straight out to the angular, crown-like pool, the pergola kitchen and the mountain panorama, so a scene can move naturally from interior to terrace without losing the look.

Open-Plan Rooms With Real Camera Flow

The main living space is one of the best reasons to shoot here. The lounge, dining area and kitchen sit together under a high, gently vaulted ceiling, with large-format white tile carrying across the room. The stacked-stone fireplace gives the bright space a darker architectural anchor, while the white sectional, black grand piano and sculptural chandelier each create a clean place to frame talent. Light comes in strongest through the pool-facing sliders and corner glazing, which is useful for daylight scenes across the dining table, piano and seating area. As that light moves, recessed ceiling fixtures support the deeper kitchen and lounge zones. Cameras can look from the living room toward the island, reverse back to the pool and mountain view, or hold the sliders in frame for a long interior-to-exterior shot.

Chef’s Kitchen, Breakfast Corner and Wet Bar

The kitchen has a clean, production-ready feel without looking sterile. A long waterfall-edge island with four stools and twin sinks sits at the center, with dark wood-grain cabinetry and stainless steel refrigeration and cooking appliances along the working wall. The island gives talent a natural place to land, while still leaving depth for wider angles through the dining room. A glass breakfast table sits in a bright corner beside the sliders to the pergola, giving crews a smaller lifestyle setup within the same open plan. Nearby, the wet bar adds another useful look with its raised counter, beverage refrigeration and silver-gray mosaic backsplash. It can read as a compact cocktail bar, but it still stays visually tied to the living room and pool terrace.

Pool Terrace For Film, Photo and Music Video Shoots

The terrace is where the property really opens up. Concrete panels divided by narrow turf strips create strong geometric lines around the blue-tiled pool, while hedges frame the mountain view and palms soften the edges. Red loungers bring a controlled pop of color, and the furnished conversation area with a rectangular fire table sits close enough to the house to keep the architecture in play. For a filming location, this outdoor area offers a lot of range in one place: wide establishing angles, reflective water shots, resort-style stills and elevated landscape backgrounds. At one end, the timber pergola covers an outdoor kitchen with a grill and bar seating. Its slatted roof casts graphic bands of sunlight, while the open sides keep the pool and grounds visible in the frame.

Private Bedroom and Bathroom Looks

The principal bedroom gives the property a quieter upscale look. Gray wood flooring and a white-painted plank-and-beam vaulted ceiling keep the room soft and contemporary, while mirrored wardrobe doors add width on camera. The sliding glass opening brings in garden light beside the bed, so the space can play as a modern hotel suite while still feeling like part of a private mansion. The bathrooms offer two distinct finishes for production. One is bright and white, with a glass shower, long vanity and separate grooming counter. Another has a warmer tone, pairing a wood double vanity with vessel sinks, textured pale walls and a tub-shower enclosure. Frosted-panel doors connect these rooms to dressing and hallway areas without creating heavy visual breaks.
