Newly Built Cape Cod

Nestled in Brentwood Hills, this five-bedroom, six-and-a-half-bath Cape Cod home offers the best of both worlds: luxurious finishes and modern amenities, as well as unobstructed views of Sullivan Canyon.

“From the moment the builders saw the mountain view behind this property, they knew this was the ideal setting on which to create a new high-end home,” Michael Edlen shared with the Palisadian-Post.

The house comes equipped with smart home automation and smart switches, as well as an alarm and surveillance. Outdoors there is potential for an in-ground or infinity swimming pool if the buyer is interested, in addition to an outdoor bar and grill, spacious hardscape and landscape, pool powder room, and an outdoor shower.

Heading indoors, visitors are greeted by a 22-foot high grand foyer, designed with white wall paneling from floor to ceiling. A formal dining room, complete with modern wainscoting, is located off the foyer.

A state-of-the-art kitchen/great room includes high-end appliances, natural stone counters and a massive island with wood-wrapped breakfast bar—all with a view of the outdoors. Also downstairs is a luxurious theater, a wood-paneled office, and a guest suite and powder room.

The second floor offers a spacious lounge area; the master bedroom can be entered from a pair of double doors, creating an ideal sense of privacy.

“Because this lot is nearly 95 feet wide, it allows for large-scale rooms on two levels rather than having to go below street level with a basement,” Edlen explained.

When asked which room is his favorite, Edlen was torn between the rich, suede-walled theater and the remarkable master suite with open and tranquil views. His marketing director, Christina Wagner, couldn’t decide between the grand foyer with a stunning modern black and gold light fixture, and the dining room, with custom wainscoting walls that were inspired by Coco Chanel’s iconic jacket.
