2017 Benedict Canyon Dr, Beverly Hills, CA 90210

So much of Los Angeles is experienced primarily from behind an automotive windshield. Driving along winding canyon roads, 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 clear night out on the back patio one listens at last to water plash in the fountain. 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. The open plan Living-Dining-Kitchen combination extends to the patio and yard through glass sliding doors. 2-car attached garage opens to a large, gated auto court for easy turn-around. Cook's Kitchen with high-quality modern appliances opens to the dining area and living room. All bedrooms have en suite full baths except the guest/office on the entry level (yet the adjacent 'powder room' is a full bath with shower over bathtub). The primary suite has a private terrace facing the rear yard and fountain. Spa, outdoor kitchen with built-in barbecue and a fountain-cascade added by current owners adorn the lovely rear yard. 15 minutes' drive or less to Rodeo Drive shopping after peak morning traffic hours.
