Dramatically sited south of the boulevard atop a double sized flat lot and set among tall trees on its own knoll, this extraordinary one-of-a-kind colonial estate with ADU offers resort like indoor-outdoor compound living, unique sweeping tree-top and mountain views and unparalleled privacy in the heart of Sherman Oaks. The huge stone walls and 3 car garage at street level belie a vast lush professionally landscaped secluded yard above, with a new elevator transporting you from street level right up to the sprawling yard and imposing east-coast style mansion. Columns and a shady front porch give way to a central formal foyer leading to spectacular living room with fireplace and massive French doors. Formal dining room with French doors opens to chef's kitchen and massive great room with center island, marble counters, an assemblage of stainless appliances plus built-in window seating and fireplace.
