HOLLYWOOD HIDEAWAY
Nestled within the Hollywood Hills, this Mid-century, with a twist of Craftsman, custom home has all of the feels of a quaint and cozy bungalow while providing the amenities and privacy of the ideal suburban spread. The multi-unit compound creates an oasis from the nearby Sunset Strip and the fast-paced lifestyle that Los Angeles is known for.
While the backyard pool retreat and panoramic views of the San Fernando Valley are an immediate invitation to unwind, the ultimate showstopper is the 1,500 gallon custom saltwater aquarium that draws any audience to enjoy a moment of zen and curiosity. Although there are plenty of places to relax, this newly created dining room/lounge space has become the favorite room in the house.
