So much of Los Angeles is experienced primarily from behind an automotive windshield. Speeding along winding canyon roads, we may appreciate the over-arching greenery as we pass out of the dense city fabric; but mostly our thoughts dwell on the ticking clock: "How much longer will it take; how bad is the traffic"? Here in a 4-bedroom, 4-bath Modern residence on Benedict Canyon Drive, expanded and upgraded within the past decade, on a warm summer night sitting on the back patio one listens at last to water plash in the fountain. Only an occasional car or motorcycle can still be heard hurrying by. The leaves rustle, insects chirp. A few birds still call. The canyon reverts to the realm of nature as the cares of mechanized civilization dwindle away with the onset of night. 2-car garage, large gated auto court, and high-quality modern appliances in the open kitchen with large island. All bedrooms en suite except the guest/office on the entry level. Spa, outdoor kitchen with built-in barbecue and fountain-cascade added by current owners in the lovely rear yard.
