13546 Contour Drive, Sherman Oaks, CA 91423

Phenomenal location. Extraordinary views. Behind iron gates and limestone walls, uniquely elevated off the road, this commanding Spanish Revival residence perches on the hillside like a castle, offering true privacy. Inside, it's beautifully remodeled throughout, with 3,388 square feet, 4 bedrooms and 5 baths. You'll find polished marble and warm hardwood floors, a gourmet chef's kitchen with Jenn-Air appliances, elegantly updated bathrooms, recessed lighting, a drop-down projection screen in the living room, and whole-house water filtration. In the dining room, a banana tree fills the window like living art, and from there the funicular carries you down to the detached guest unit. It adds about 400 square feet (not included in square footage) of fully remodeled, flexible space, ideal for a parent, an office or a studio. Step outside and look up. If you're lucky, you'll see Buteo jamaicensis, the Red-Tailed Hawk, holding the highest perch above this home and surveying the city below....
