From the Agent: "Discreetly hidden off one of Sherman’s most beautiful roads is this stunning interpretation of a classic midcentury home, offering 5,936 square feet of  living space on park-like grounds. Exquisite minimalist interiors blend art with light and design to create a gated sanctuary of quiet, calm, and beauty. Two expansive additions in 1988 and 1997, designed by renowned architect David Specter, include a private primary bedroom suite and a spacious two-bedroom guesthouse. The former is accessed through an architecturally striking semicircular staircase and encompasses a bedroom, sitting room, and his and hers bathrooms and walk-in closets. A second primary bedroom suite can be found on the main level, along with two additional bedrooms and several stunning living, dining, and entertainment spaces."
