Property Description

This is an architecturally modern and exciting four-story, 3,200 sq. ft. house, built in 2000, by Ed Wall, in the hills of Sherman Oaks. The house hovers over a quiet canyon, offering amazing views of the valley, and Mulholland Dr. The drive up to the house is a beautiful hillside with gorgeous vistas as you approach the house. The exterior of the house creates a Zen-like feel, landscaped with various bamboos and a slate landscape. The entrance creates a particular feel, beginning with artistic rod iron gate that encloses a patio area. The patio is furnished with a modern teak table and chairs, a water fountain, more bamboo and plumaria plants and a modern sculpture. It sets up the mood to enter a very interesting house. This patio allows for two entrances to the house, both with modern doors. Once you enter the house, you are taken aback by the auspicious view of the canyon. Ed Wall knew what he was doing to create a feel that the walls frame the nature view. The floors are all maple hardwood. Everyone immediately remarks at the "wow effect" of the entry.
