HOME FOR ART - Brentwood Park 

Deep hedging and quiet facade belie the drama inside this house. Continuity of flow, indirect light, commodious art walls. "For us, the house represented a blank slate for creating our own environment for both art and family living." The generous entry merges easily to the living and dining areas which are divided by a double hearth from the family room. North light streams from the private and sunny pool terrace beyond. The kitchen has been efficiently recreated for a chef's cooking, while friends converse around its center island. Adjacent lie service room and housekeeper's room/office with separate entrance. A gallery hall leads to three bedroom suites in one wing of the house including the master suite with its private garden and fireplace and pristine bath. Beyond are the two guest bedrooms, each with bath, both facing the pool. Maple floors, efficient program, 4.5 baths, parking for 8 cars and all the allure of Sunset Boulevard.
