so welcome back to the channel eric here and this week's episode we are here in beverly hills
about to film this newly constructed transitional home right behind me here located at 1087 maryland
drive i film a lot of these homes and i haven't been this excited to film a new
build in a long time now some stats on this home it has seven bedrooms
ten bathrooms it's just over ten thousand square feet of interior living space situated on a half
acre lot listed for just under 24 million dollars now before we jump into this tour as always i want
to give a huge thanks to the listing agents aaron kerman and holland the developer for letting us
be the very first ones to tour their brand new build and with that let's jump into this tour
starting at the exterior of the home the property is elevated from street level passing through this
gated entry up this nice curved driveway leading here to the motor court now behind me we have the
detached two-car garage and as far as the actual architectural elements of this home we have a nice
smooth stucco finish with those aluminum black windows throughout the entire space with the
steel roof from the motor court we're actually going to walk to the front entryway of the house
this would be your side entryway and one thing i want to really touch here is the landscaping we
have beautiful just top of the line landscaping a lot of olive trees below me on the pavers we have
sandstone and you'll see in a few years this will all mature and grow in creating an awesome privacy
barrier then this pathway leads to the front entry where you have this mature olive tree with
this nice bench creating a very clean moment here below us again sandstone with the smooth stucco
and behind us your double entry door which leads into the home shall we so entering this home you
have these beautiful french steel doors which transcend into this foyer connecting all the
common rooms with little resistance it is as open concept as you get in the most tasteful way this
open floor plan with soaring ceilings feels airy yet warm due to the home's immaculate woodworking
made from organic rift white oak throughout the entire space another unique touch is the white
oak is actually on the ceilings and the trim and i want to point this out all the trim in this house
is shadow trim it's extremely difficult to do and it's found throughout the entire space tying
everything together but to start this tour off let's head off to the right here passing through
these double doors into your home office i want to point this out this is so beautiful this is an
enclave library essentially with all that white oak with the inlaid leds underneath each shelf
i just think this is such a nice moment and i'm trying to convey the feeling of warmth
throughout this space because that's just what hits you when you walk in i want to point out
also we have the french doors which open up indoor outdoor living in a very again transitional way
it's not overtly modern where it's just a pane of glass which opens up front and center we have the
modern desk i do want to point out that this could be a guest bedroom because off to the left here
we actually have a little kind of pantry area and then this would be your ensuite bathroom
we have a floating vanity with quartzite on the countertop these led lights built right in to
this plaster on the wall and then right behind me as you can see steam shower heading back into the
entryway we're now going to go right forward this is the first thing you see when you walk into the
home this is your great room and i just want to break down the materials really quick again
you have that white oak on the floor and the ceiling with all the lighting built right into
that white oak and i want to point this out even the hvac vents are all custom white oak covering
you have this gas fireplace with the limestone below on the mantle and this nice seating area
this is all custom white oak mill work which hides away
your entertainment center so these are dual barn doors which then cover the shelving
revealing your tv built right into the wall and you even have the soundproof paneling surrounding
the tv which is actually built into the wall here this is the most tasteful display of a tv
i've ever seen a lot of times you don't want to walk into a room and have the tv right there this
it has that use of the white oak throughout the whole space hides it very nicely again when this
is closed you have all of your shelving here with the led lights built in all in all such a clean
design here in the great room the entire back wall this great room is floor-to-ceiling glass
with that black paint aluminum leading out to your backyard which we're going to touch on in a second
off to my left this is your stairwell connecting the living floor to the bedrooms and then below us
you'll see that in a second that's pretty awesome but in front of us now we are in your top of the
line gourmet state-of-the-art chef's kitchen and just feast your eyes on what's behind me
the focal point the centerpiece of this kitchen is this giant slab island of taj mahal marble
this is just one slab i can't drive that home enough how rare that is and how difficult to not
have any seams and this entire piece of marble i really love how it complements the white oak
and warms up the entire space rather than giving it that cold feeling here you have your chef prep
sink right in the center behind me you have your wolf range this is your six burner stovetop with
the dual ovens the backsplash again is that taj mahal marble here you have all your built-ins
this is your refrigerator all sub-zero built seamlessly in with white oak on the paneling
again you have all the led lights built into this open concept shelving towards the other side of
this island here we have all your additional appliances everything is wolf sweet all built
in again all that shadow trim the same as with the appliances built right into this white oak
on the other side of the island this is your breakfast bar with seating for five
and then again you have an additional kind of storage space countertop moment here
with all the cabinetry above now right off of your chef's kitchen you have two doors which lead
into your formal dining room space again you have the french doors right in the front letting in all
that natural sunlight off to my left you have this beautiful powder room this powder room is
all white oak on the walls and the ceiling and you have this beautiful archway here above this sink
which is one giant piece of marble with the drain laser cut right into that marble even get to look
at the size of this door this is just one solid piece of white oak just for a frame of reference
the pattern's there dining room here at the very end of your formal dining space this is your prep
kitchen and just look at the sunlight in here you have taj mahal marble on the counter top you have
these french windows which open up letting the just the life into this prep kitchen normally prep
kitchens are off to the side they're very dark this is the complete opposite you've got your wolf
suite of appliances your subzero oversized commercial grade refrigerator freezer combo
and then this goes right back along to that first door which we mentioned at the start of the video
that's your motor court there behind which leads us back to your kitchen
now right off of the kitchen here is your family room and before we head in here i want to point
this out off to the left this is your office nook moment i want to call this a nook because it's not
a proper room here at stage with a desk again that sunlight just throughout the whole space
but the real wow moment is this family room front and center you have your gas fireplace with the
limestone on the mantel going up the chimney and i just want to point out how open concept this is
you have all those french doors which totally open up giving your family room indoor outdoor
living so if you want to want to head outside put the shades on right in front of me this is
the connection to your garage which is off to my left again the landscaping is just so precise and
pristine with all trees these stone pavers below me now we have your outdoor kitchen space and this
is actually a dual-sided fireplace so here on the flip side we actually have a wood burning
fireplace out here and we have ipe wood throughout the entire space here we have on the mantel
your table front and center with seating for eight and then you have your proper outdoor kitchen
with all of your built-ins your wolf suite of appliances even you have your wine chiller
outside along with inside here in the backyard it is really an oasis and the developer holland went
the extra mile with just the usage of this land which he'll explain a bit more at the end of this
video when we sit down but you have this beautiful retaining wall which essentially now is a grove
of olive trees when these mature it's going to look so beautiful you have your infinity
edge swimming pool complete with your hot tub built in and then you have this ipe patio space
with a nice walk up with seating around your gas fireplace which is just a beautiful moment here
in your backyard it's very peaceful especially being in beverly hills you have total privacy here
here we have your outdoor patio space with some seating area we're gonna pass through these
beautiful french doors and now we're gonna head up the stairwell to the bedrooms i wanna point out at
the very top here we have this beautiful skylight letting in all that natural light to the entire
first floor at the top of your staircase off to my left this is the owner's wing of the home and you
pass through this is one plank of that white oak on a swivel no hinges entering into the owner's
bedroom here at this estate the first thing you notice is this vaulted ceiling we have the white
oak on the ceiling with everything built in all the sound the lights the hvac also tastefully done
behind me you'll notice you have all the french doors and a gas fireplace here with the sandstone
on the mantel my favorite feature of the owner's bedroom is this terrace right off to the side
which overlooks your motor court your property and it faces south so you have sun the entire day and
the beauty of this terrace not only is it spacious but it connects the bedroom to the primary
bathroom front and center here in the owner's bathroom we have this freestanding victoria
and albert soaking tub with your stainless steel fixtures here coming right out of the floor
this is the only moment in the house where we have the lighter colored marble this is all calcutta
marble on the floors and the floating vanities the vanities are mirrored on either side so you
have the white oak on the cabinets and then the actual countertop is that calcutta white marble
even here in your steam shower you have the book matched calcutta marble on the wall and if you
look above me it's even on the ceiling just giving it that symmetry and that elegance so heading
out of your steam shower will keep this closed i want to show this off this is your closet moment
again you have the white oak on the walls the ceiling and the floors off to my left you have the
his and hers closet this is the smaller of the two still a very decent size and then in front of me
this would be the larger and everything is flush and seamless in case you do want that privacy you
have the doors which pocket into the walls with the closet connecting the bedroom to the bathroom
we're gonna head out of the primary suite now so out of the primary bedroom you have your stairwalk
to the right this is a sitting area right off the stairwell which is a nice little moment
and right in front here this is staged as the office but this could easily be another bedroom
because you do have the ensuite bathroom here you have that grooved sandstone here in the
shower and tub area back into the seating area the main atrium of the bedroom floor of the house we
have off to the left the additional bedrooms this would be bedroom number three you have
this nice view here of the pool and your land down below this does have an ensuite bathroom and then
across the hallway you have bedroom number four which again has that additional ensuite bathroom
and connecting these two bedrooms you have this closet storage space here this could be your linen
closet it's a nice use of the space here but from the bedroom wing we're actually gonna head back
downstairs now to the entertainment floor right off the stairwell on the entertainment floor
this is a very unique use of the space so you have your essentially your kitchen downstairs on the
entertainment floor with the taj mahal marble on the countertop and the backsplash led light
right into the cabinetry in front of the kitchen you have your built-in taj mahal marble island
and then right in front of me this is your home theater and i love this because it's very rare in
these homes where you have the home theater which is open concept this has a more family feeling to
it whereas it is connected to the kitchen right off of this home theater the screen is built
right into the wall here and this is actually the only part in the house where i want to point
this out you have this grass woven fabric here on the walls to give a bit of sound proofing
all the other walls are this portolo glaze paint which is very very hard to do it almost gives it
a venetian plaster look but it's more expensive so that's the only moment there where you don't have
that on the walls this nice grass woven fabric off of your home theater we have the poker area
which connects the entire space passing through those aluminum black painted french doors this is
your home fitness center in this estate and you've got that white oak on the floors the walls and the
ceilings i also want to point out that you have these beautiful prop fans to give a bit of airflow
in here now off of your home gym this was a very very tasteful design element this is a light well
which was actually turned into a stairwell which connects the lower level to your backyard space
traditionally this would just be essentially a hole in the ground letting in some light
here if the stair will connect in the lower level to your backyard i love how this gym has ample
space you can fit a ton of equipment here it's the most unique take on a home gym that i've seen
in the home of this caliber now leaving the home gym we have your wine cellar off to the left here
how elegant is this wine cellar this is all that white oak built into this open shelving to house
all of your wine with the led lighting built right into the shelving just take a look at the frame
it is so tasteful and this is all temperature controlled out of the wine cellar off and to
my left this is your sauna bathroom moment here you have your sauna right here and then behind
me this is your steam shower so after you get done your workout you can take care of yourself
right here on this lower level so now right off of the staircase in front of me this is your
guest bedroom wing so off to my right this is the first of the guest bedrooms on this lower level
and again as you can see we're on the subtrain level but you have so much sunlight in these light
wells pouring into the space you would think that you were on the top floor but we're down below
and all the finishes in the ensuing bathrooms are that beautiful limestone and the white oak tying
throughout the entire space so leaving bedroom number five back out into this connecting hallway
this is bedroom number six again you have your ensuite bathroom your closet off to the right
and another very large size guest bedroom which has the light well and these light wells actually
connect the two bedrooms together so even let's step out here for a second the fact that you
have this southern facing sunlight that comes into these subtrained bedrooms that is such a tasteful
design element that you wouldn't find in many places but heading back into this guest bedroom
there's still something i want to show you this is well you'll see so if we leave this guest bedroom
we head back out into the hallway in front of me this is your laundry room here
at the maryland house estate and this laundry room for some perspective of the scale
this is a little larger than the first apartment i lived in when i moved to new york city
that's how large this space is you have four washer and dryers you have the quartzite on
the countertop with that grass woven fabric on the walls all the lacquered free-floating
cabinetry with the lights built in underneath and then this room here off to the end this is
essentially just a storage room off the laundry room
holland thank you for joining us and letting us tour your awesome new build so first question
what was the inspiration behind this specific property well being a realtor also in the area
and just kind of seeing what goes up a lot of the newer developments were very large but they feel a
little cold a lot of glass a lot of cold marble so what i wanted to do with the help of an architect
and my designer was to try to create a house that has the size that the families are looking for
but it's functional and every room is somewhere you can cozy up with the book and not feel like
you're in an echo chamber so we wanted to create something that was warm functional and very
emotional what are the specific materials that you really utilize throughout the whole home the
predominant material that we have in this house is all natural elements we have concrete smooth
stucco which is outside we've got plaster walls which gives you a nice texture we've got swan rift
white oak throughout the entire house which is a select grade and the goal was to match the floors
with the ceilings and if you notice we've got shadow molding detail that connects to the trim
around every door and every window which is a very rare feature even with the custom hose
and then we also have natural elements such as a taj mahal marble which was imported from spain
we've got limestone throughout the entire house which is also from spain we've got marble and
then we have steel so we got all the elements but yet we wanted to make sure that it's masked with
some natural white oak to warm it up when i first bought this lot it was off market
a family bought it and tried to remodel it it was old california ranch home the hillside which you
have now three retaining walls the hillside actually came down to where the house starts
so theoretically speaking i wasn't able to build 11 000 square feet when i bought it but with some
creative engineering and moving some soil we cut the hillside back 21 feet created those retaining
walls increased our pad which allowed us to get an extra 5 000 square feet we've got natural mature
30-foot trees and so the budget for the landscaping here is just as much as
any other trade because we wanted to make sure that you got that oasis garden growth
i also wanted to let you know that the interior design was sarah bk for co-lab house wow i mean
you definitely you know what you're doing this isn't your first rodeo with developing how did you
get into this well i got into um my grandfather back home in afghanistan was a developer
but once we left the country in 79 he wasn't able to do it here so when i was in college i
always wanted to get into real estate and slowly in 2010 started buying some bank oreos and so it's
just something i've always dreamt of doing started small and uh this is the uh this is the creme de
la creme i guess you should say it definitely is yeah with that then what is some advice that you
can offer to someone watching who wants to be an agent or wants to be a developer well uh it might
sound cliche but you can't do it for the money obviously we work for money that's uh very obvious
but you can't do development on a spreadsheet do it as if you'd buy it for your family
don't cut corners with craftsmanship finishes and material and um if you have to break the budget
you have to break the budget if you're out there and you're looking to purchase this property you
know someone who is all information is down below in the description of this video holland thank you
again for letting us tour your incredible build and with that we will see you in the next video
you
