- [Sally] Welcome to 1471 Forest Knoll Drive,
Hollywood Hills, California.
A brand new, exquisite architectural farmhouse
designed by standard architecture.
- The home offers 11200 square feet of living space,
six bedrooms, six full baths, three powder rooms
and is cited on just around an acre
overlooking the spectacular views.
The property is currently on the market
for 28 and a half million dollars.
- Come on in and let's take a look.
[light music]
So we are in the great room.
This is the center of the home.
This room has 30 foot high ceilings,
so there's a lot of drama, a lot of volume.
It is inspired by the Louis Kahn Arts Gallery.
Every piece of art and furniture
has been specifically chosen to work well
in the setting and in the environment.
We have the travertine floors,
the beautiful white oak walls,
and then one centerpiece here is really the fireplace.
This is board formed concrete.
It is a very warm concrete,
so it almost looks like a wood,
and it just works perfectly with the oak walls.
[light music]
- So we're currently in the family room kitchen area.
We've got this very spacious family room
that all opens up to the beautiful grounds and views beyond.
And then behind me, we have one of two kitchens.
We actually have an additional caterer's kitchen
behind the main kitchen.
This particular kitchen really provides
an optimal space for casual family entertaining.
The kitchen offers rift oak cabinets,
which continue seamlessly into the aesthetic and genre
of the remainder of the house, including the great room.
We have a stove top with a grill.
Additionally, we have refrigerator and freezer
beautifully integrated with the same rift oak.
What the designers wanted was an integration
of functionality and aesthetics,
and what we have here is a beautiful beautiful display area
in lieu of just cabinets that close off.
One of the most bold design elements in the home
is actually the window system.
Not only do they provide access
for indoor outdoor entertaining,
they're perfectly positioned to provide
a very very bold and dramatic element
to the entire lower level of the property.
They actually lock at the touch of a button
and beautifully position to close off the interiors.
Next, we're going to go into the bar lounge and media room.
Come on in.
[light music]
Behind me, we've got a beautiful wet bar
that offers a mirrored backdrop,
which reflects the views of the entire city.
This offers an incredible space to entertain, lounge
and have formal or informal gatherings.
In addition, the room is anchored
by this beautiful board formed concrete
and huge oversized fireplace.
Behind me, we've got the screening room.
No LA hillside home would be complete
without a proper screening room.
What they've done here is they've beautifully integrated
a lounge style screening room
in lieu of the formality of reclining chairs,
and really an ideal destination for screening a movie
or actually just having an intimate gathering.
[light music]
- I love coming up the stairs and then knowing
that I'm going to enter and cross over to the bridge.
This bridge here is the center of the home,
and this is in between where the primary bedroom is
and all of the secondary and family bedrooms.
So you have a similar balcony
that is also overlooking the great room
and the different parts of the home and the view.
[upbeat music]
So we're in the primary suite.
When you walk in,
the first thing that you do see is the view.
So you're outside, you're inside, all as one.
The view is part of the entire ambiance of the bedroom.
You have a sitting area here where you can sit and relax.
And then you have a breakfast bar,
so that you don't have to leave your suite here
to go and get anything.
In addition, we have two walk-in closets.
It's fully outfitted, and it also has the island
with the beautiful stone.
[light music]
This bathroom is just beautiful.
We have integrated sinks.
We have a fabulous architectural sky light
that just filters beautiful light throughout.
Behind here, we have a shower
that is the full length of both of the sink areas.
We have the same Calcutta marble throughout.
The primary bathroom here also has this beautiful tub
overlooking the view.
It's just all fully integrated
with the most beautiful materials
and in keeping with the feel and the ambiance
of the rest of the house.
[light music]
- The upstairs office actually doubles
as an additional bedroom,
and offers one of the most compelling and dramatic
vantage points of the stunning views beyond.
When you're sitting at your desk,
you can look at the entirety of the city,
from downtown all the way to the ocean.
It really is one of the most exquisite views
in Los Angeles.
[upbeat music]
- In addition to the primary bedroom,
we have three guest bedrooms,
and each of them are truly suites
because they have their own bathrooms.
Each of the bathrooms have beautiful stone,
their own walk-in closets.
Each of the closets are fully outfitted
and they all walk out to a beautiful balcony area.
[upbeat music]
- The house was designed and cited on the lot
to feel almost like a tree house.
It's cantilevered above the hills.
In addition to that, we have this beautiful green foliage
encompassing all the grounds.
And with all the glazing, you see the views beyond,
you see the trees, the greenery,
and then of course, the oceans, as the backdrop.
[light music]
- So we're in the gym.
What is absolutely special and unique about this gym
is the fact that all of the doors open,
and here you are being part of a zen garden,
just serene and peaceful.
And of course, you have an outdoor shower.
Just a very special place, very very peaceful.
[light music]
- Now we're going to head out to the rear grounds.
The house was ultimately designed to showcase
the expansive and breathtaking views beyond.
Come on out.
What we've got here is several different enclaves.
First and foremost,
we've got the really beautiful grassy area for lounging.
Behind me, the pool anchors the entirety of the backyard
and really cascades over the horizon into the view.
No pool would be complete without an infinity spa,
which actually is inset within the pool
and offers a fantastic vantage point
of the entire views beyond.
Furthermore, for our chilly nights in LA,
which we don't get many of, we've got a beautiful fire pit.
It also adds a compelling touch
to the design of the entrance.
So as you walk into the foyer,
your eye carries you directly out to the view.
The heart scape area provides an ideal space
to set up your lounge chairs, or even have outdoor dining.
To maintain the symmetry of the yard
and the symmetry of the house,
we have an additional grassy area
with a lounge space that is right outside
of the family room and kitchen.
You would never think that being up here
in this private enclave would provide
such immediate access to the hub of Los Angeles.
However, the fact that we're above Sunset Boulevard,
one of the most important locations in Los Angeles,
makes Forest Knoll one of the most coveted streets
and enclaves within the city.
[upbeat music]
We've got 11200 square feet of beautifully designed space
on just over an acre of land,
six bedrooms, six full baths, three powder rooms,
and all this is available on the market
at 28 and a half million dollars.
