- What's up everybody it's Enes here. Welcome to another episode. This week, we're in the
heart of Los Angeles and about to tour this newly
constructed modern home, right behind me. This house is minutes
away from Melrose Avenue famed for its shopping, dining
and its artistic community. And the fact that this
house is walking distance from Melrose Avenue is what
makes this home so special. This house was designed and
built by our good friends at House Of Shoor the textures
and finishes in this house are exquisite. So I'm excited to show it to you guys. This house has five bedrooms, six baths, approximately 5,000 square
feet of interior space built on a 6,500 square foot lot. And this property is also
in the market for $4295,000. Lastly, before we get in there, I wanna thank our good
friend, Daniel Dahan who is the listing agent of this property for allowing us to tour
his amazing listing. Now let's begin (upbeat music) Starting here we have the wood clad gate opening up to the pattern driveway that leads us up to the two
car garage of this home. Garage door is nicely
clad with this wood finish and on the exterior of the home, we have a smooth stucco finish complimented with the second
floor balcony kick out design again, clad with wood
siding, beautiful contrast. And as I go up here, we have the walkway taking us up to the
front entry of this home and in front of the house
instead of a grass lawn area, they have this crushed granite finish, little bit easier to maintain with these cactus tress up upfront. Now let's go inside. (claps) All right, everyone here we
are at the entry of this home. We have a floor to ceiling
glass pivot door right here, bringing in a lot of natural
light in to this hallway and also the hallway we
have the office right here. Come on in. We have three windows
on the left hand side, bringing natural light in chandelier above built in closets on this side and this office has an
incredible bathroom. So every bathroom in
this house is gorgeous. Starting with this one, we have a custom vanity set up here with the calacatta marble countertops, also fabricated sink design. We have a tiled back wall
here and a herringbone pattern and the same tile back wall continues into the walk in
shower, incredible shower design. They is the same calacatta marble and the entry of this
shower with this curved design right here. Also same marble was
used on the bottom shower seal as well as well as this bench, beautiful fixtures overall
incredible bathroom. And the fact that office
bathroom is this gorgeous really gets me excited
for the rest of the house. Now we have a hallway right here, some hallway closets staircase
on my left hand side, taking us up to the second floor and the rooftop of this home. Behind me, we have the living room area, but before we talk about that, why don't we take this hallway right here? This is the door for the two car garage. And as we continue the hallway, this is the powder room
for the first floor. I love this travertine
fabricated vanity set up here with these hidden drains check it out. It's super cool.
- [Mikey] Looks really nice. - They use the same travertine
also as a back wall, we have a recessed back window right here bringing natural light into this bathroom. They have a towel rack on the bottom and let's not forget this
trademark House Of Shoor detail, (knocks) smooth stucco walls on the
inside of the bathroom. Now let's go this way. I have a question for you Mikey. - [Mikey] Yeah. - What do you think the space is used for. - [Mikey] Like hanging up jackets. It's right by the garage door so. - It looks like a storage, right? - [Mikey] Yeah.
- But you're actually wrong. There's a secret room here.
- [Mikey] What? - Yup. - [Mikey] This is like,all I've
always wanted a secret room. - Well, come on in. Speakeasy movie theater how about that? - [Mikey] Wow this is really cool. - Super cool no windows here tucked away to this closet here. We have E-Peck wood
clad walls on each side with these led strip lighting, cozy seating projected
above with surround sound we have the screen here. It's a cozy little screening room. - [Mikey] Yeah and even better if you don't want anyone to find you you can just close the
closet doors and hide. - There you go no one will
know that you're here. All right, let's go back to the hallway and let's talk about this
airy spacious living room. Number one, that crazy corner
glass detailed right there. Floor to ceiling glass,
that pockets into the walls. We'll show that later. We have the limestone floors
continue from the entry all the way up here. Built-ins on the east side
we have a gas fireplace here, a little bit of Spanish influence right. Number one we have these
smooth stucco walls. You have your wiring right
here for your future TV, with the mantle design fireplace here with some tiles around it. We have these walls sconces on each side of the gas fireplace, all custom designed by a House Of Shoor overall great space with recess
lights built in speakers. And it's all about these
glass doors right here. Opening up to the courtyard of this home. We'll talk on that later. Now, formal dining room area. It's all open. It's part of the living room
and part of the kitchen here. And I love the floor to
ceiling glass assembly here with this industrial design, bringing in a lot of natural light in to the formal dining room area. We have a table for eight here and the whole space just flows
from the living room area to formal dining room. And now the kitchen. Let's talk about this
kitchen for a second. Very sleek, very modern. I love the contrast between
the darker cabinetry like countertops here. And let's talk about this
island set up for a second. It's very bespoke, very
costumed to this house. We have limestone countertops here and the same limestone was used to create this grid design right here on the surface of the Island. Looks like a custom art piece. I love the bar sitting
here and going this way we have a floor to ceiling, another glass assembly
here with two glass doors opening up to the back of the property where we have the barbecue set up. Again we'll talk more on that later. Your cabinetry starts right here and goes all the way to the
formal dining room area. This is where you have your pantry. Looking to the island they
use the same limestone also here to fabricated the
kitchen sink design right here. Dishwasher, your wine fridge. - [Mikey] Ooh, I like those knock fridges. - Exactly one of these cool Miele ones. There you go. Well talking about a knock and a push. - [Mikey] Here we go. - This is where we have the Miele fridge. Your Miele built-ins. Let's not forget my personal favorite espresso maker and going this way. This is where we have the gas Miele stove with one of these pop up
Vince right in front of it. Overall, a very sleek, very beautiful modern
kitchen design right here. Now this whole house is
all about the courtyard. And of course, I'm gonna take my time
to open up all these glass pocketing doors, that
pockets into the walls here. - [Mikey] They're really light doors too. - They're super light. Super easy it is another
detail I really like the limestone floors. They also use the same limestone
on the outside as well. So it looks very seamless. You got that perfect indoor outdoor feel. Alright, now that we
have all the glass doors pocketed into the walls, let's talk about this courtyard space. First thing I like is
that how this whole house is opened up to this backyard area. Right in the center, we have
this dipping pool right here. Obviously it's not a
full sized swimming pool. It's definitely a good size. We have zero edge all around it complimented with this pebble rock design. You've got a lot of privacy here and again, it's a good sized
pool for this backyard. Like I mentioned at the
beginning of the video, it's only a 6,500 square foot lot. So this lot is not that big. And they really maximize the usage of it. Another thing that again I wanna mention they use the same lime
stone from the inside all the way to the outside patio. So it has a nice blend,
it has a nice flow. And right here, we have this covered area complimented with these two ceiling fans because right above us
is the master closet. It's a quirky little design element, but again, it's all about
maximizing this backyard area. Right here we have some built
in seating, gas, fire pit. And as we go this way, we have the whole parameter
of the house nicely hedged. And this is where we have the floor to ceiling glass
assembly from the kitchen opening up to the back patio. And lastly, another cool detail. We have the barbecue set up right here with a little bit of bar seating. Overall great sized backyard. Again for being only 6,500 square feet. You get a lot in this back yard. I love this covered area. Also. It's a really cool
modern architecture. I mean, can we just get a look from here? Looking at the house, it looks gorgeous, I love
this corner, glass detail, modern architecture. You really don't get
much better than this. Now going back into the house, we have the last detail I wanna talk about on the first floor. And it's this floating steel
staircase design right here. And I like that we have
this glass back wall that extends all the way to
the third floor of this house. Bringing a ton of natural light in throughout the whole house. Modern design open riser each thread is a single slab and we have this cool
grid design right here serves as a railing as well as a support for the staircase. And now let's go upstairs
and tour the second floor. (jazz music) All right everyone. Here we are at the second
floor of this home. This floor, we have three
bedrooms, laundry room and the master bedroom. So why don't we start right here where we have the first bedroom? This one has floor to ceiling, glass window assembly here with a door that opens
up to the front balcony, good size room. We have the bed situated
here, built in closets here. Check this out. I really liked these custom recess handles for a little bit of pop of color and going this way. This is the bathroom for this
bedroom floating vanity design with a limestone countertops. They use the same lime stone to fabricated the sink design right here, stack wall piles, continuing
to walk in shower. Same limestone was used
for the shower threshold as well as the bench designed. Here's a cool detail. They use this E-peck wood clad
right here on the ceiling. And that actually continues all the way to this wall right here, giving it a pop of color for
this bathroom right here. Now let's go next door where
we have the bedroom number two, which is right here and
another good sized bedroom another floor to ceiling glass assembly with the door opening up to the balcony. In fact, let's go check
that out real quick. This balcony is front facing nicely tiled with the same limestone. You have glass railing. Again good sized balcony that compliments these two bedrooms right here. Now every single bathroom
in this house is so unique. So creative and this one is no exception. We have the vanity design here again with the same limestone
countertops, fabricated sink, some industrial elements
with this mirror design here and this brick look tile back wall here with the vertical stack design, giving it some industrial element. Let's not forget the walk in shower again limestone walls, rain, head handheld and lastly
this smooth stucco walls. - [Mikey] I got to ask you, is that like a real brick
or is that like a paneling. - Actually Mikey it
gives it away right here. You can see that it's a small slim tile with a brick look on front. - [Mikey] Okay but it's yeah it still feels just like brick. - It feels like break, but it's
lighter, easier to install. - [Mikey] Yeah.
- There you go. Now that wraps our tour
for the second bedroom. Right next door is the laundry room. Let me turn on the light
switch for you guys come on in. We have the opening for
washer and dryer right here. And as we go this way, this is
where we have the cabinetry, even in the laundry room,
check out this countertop, with the fabric is sink design
back wall let's not forget. Look at the door. - [Mikey] Never seen such a
cool door for a laundry room. - Steel door for a laundry
room, I mean, come on. That's unique
- [Mikey] Exactly. - Bedroom number three, this
one it stays as a kid's room. Again, plenty of space built
in closets on this side. And this is where we have
the in suite bathroom for this bedroom same lime stone floors. We have a nice marble dark wall here with a freestanding tub design, but you still get your
handhelds on this side. Smooth stucco walls. I like this chisel
countertop edge right here to give it a little unique tastes. Now let's go back out to the hallway and let's check out the master bedroom. It's a good one. Actually, before you guys come in another glass door assembly to the master, I mean, this is a pretty
dreamy master bedroom. Look at the size of this room. This is a King size bed. I love the E-Peck wood clad wall designed that they did behind the bed here. Light fixtures on each side of the bed, coming down from the ceiling, overall a great size room and going this way this
bedroom gets a balcony. Of course, with these glass doors, that pockets into the walls. So let's open that up real quick. Also this balcony is,
nicely tiled glass railing. And from here, you can look
down on your courtyard area, which is really cool. - [Mikey] Jump in that pool. - I know the whole house is
super inviting, super warm. It's all open. Now let's continue our
tour in this master suite. On my right hand side, we
have the closet number one. Super clean minimalist design. Everything is nicely paneled. We have the led strip lighting,
hangars, upper cabinets, lower drawers. You have it all. Good size walking closet
again this is the first one. We have another one to see. Going this way. This is like a little
bit of a seating area for the master bedroom complimented with this
window assembly here and a planter, bringing
natural light into this area. On my left hand side, we have the wet bar with a
sink and some open shelving going this way on my left hand side, we have floor to ceiling glass panels bringing natural light in
to the master bathroom. Now we're gonna take our time and talk about this
island vanity set up here. This is super cool. Travertine countertops. Check this out. - [Mikey] I actually didn't
even realize those were sinks until now. - And here's another
cool detail Mikey, ready? So there are touch also. So as long as you leave it on - [Mikey] And motion - And motion I guess. Well, there you go, you we're right. It's also motion. It has a little bit of everything. Even when we learn new things,
as we tour these houses. - [Mikey] That's right.
- All right. We have the vanity set up here. Plenty of storage and going this way. We have the same travertine, as a back wall here and where
we have the freestanding tub. This is not your everyday freestanding tub because this is precast
concrete presetting tub. It's a nice pop of color. It's definitely unique
and from the way it looks, this thing probably weighs
close to six, 700 pounds. It looks pretty heavy to me. We have a top filler right here. Check this out. This is where you have the fixtures. Of course, smooth stucco
walls on the inside. Now going this way. This is unique check this walk in shower. It's really cool. They use the same E-peck decking here. I feel like this is a
shower that you will see in a luxury rental in Bali or Morocco. It's super open, super beachy. We have this smooth
stucco walls right here, travertine wall on this side, double shower heads,
rain head in a center, handheld, you got everything you need. Check this out water closet, number one. And right on the other
side, you have another one. So you got to have everything. Now let's go out and continue our tour. Massive bedroom master
bathroom, closet number two. And again, same finishes
same paneled walls. same cabinetry is here. It's all open, super modern, super sleek. You got plenty of space you
got drawers, you got hangers, you got everything you need. And that wraps our tour for
the second floor of this home. Now let's take the stairs. Let's check out the rooftop. (upbeat music) Alright everyone, third floor. We have a bit of a landing air right here, and this door leads us
to the rooftop deck. All right, everyone. It's bright out here, but here
we are at the rooftop deck. Let's go this way. We have nicely tiled floors
here and on this side, bit of an outdoor seating area and check this out in the future. you wanna mount your TV up here. Well, you got all your
connections built-in speakers and going this way we have
the whole parameter wall as planters to bring in some extra privacy to the rooftop deck of this home. Going this way we have
a massive gas fire pit with some built-in seating. Again, great outdoor space. Let's not forget these outdoor wall light fixtures right here, lighting up this deck space right here, going this way. We have a bar setup here
and a gas, barbecue. Check it out. There you go. Overall, you got everything you need here. And the last and best
part of this rooftop deck, check out the views. You got Hollywood Hills,
you're nicely elevated. And I mean, living in LA having an
outdoor space like this is really important considering the fact that
this property is built on a small lot, and it really allows the property to maximize the outdoor usage. And in fact, why don't we go downstairs
and talk to Shai? Who's the developer of this property and ask him a few questions. Hi guys, so we got Shai
here from House Of Shoor. How's it going, buddy? How are things? - Always a pleasure when
I see you of course. - Well, thank you for
having us here today. We had a chance to tour
your latest development. This property's unbelievable. In fact, this is actually the third home that we toured, that was developed by you. And I feel like each home you're stepping up your design
game a little bit better. Each home is getting a
little bit more complex. Tell me where you find the inspiration to design these homes
because they're beautiful. - Really, depending on the
project in itself, right. I can be inspired by a
tour I took to France or you know, it really depends on my mood and the actual setting, the location. In some instances, I can be, in the middle of the
block where I would say, hey a killer Cape Cod
would look great here. Or another instance, I'll see a Spanish that I
wouldn't want to touch really. I just would want to
fix it up a little bit and maybe do an addition
mainly location-based. - That makes sense. You're really utilizing the land and you're making the best
out of the existing layout. Or in some cases you
basically tear it down and build a modern or Spanish
in the same location that maximizes the lot and brings
value to that neighborhood too. - Totally, totally. My first instinct is to look at the house that's existing over there and say, hey, how can I salvage
this house, is it possible? And if it's not, then unfortunately we have
to tear it down and build, a super cool house that's not too loud. My personal favorites is, doing a remodel and revitalizing, especially Spanish homes,
which I adore, in those cases I would look at the specific house and see the elements within
it, where I can preserve. And I kinda play off of that. - Gotcha that makes sense. And there's another thing that
I really wanted to ask you in your homes, you merge different kinds
of architectural styles and finishes together and they work and they shouldn't really work, right? For example, this house,
this is a modern house, but do you have a lot of
Spanish or softer finishes here? You have curvature, you have chimney design
gas fireplaces here. You have a lot of marble, but
again, together they all work. How do you make that happen? And how do you see these different
finishes coming together? - Well we know if it works
when the house sells! (laughs). - Well, there you go. Yeah, that's true. But I mean, it looks beautiful. Your other two projects that we toured had these elements as well,
and they look gorgeous. - Thank you so much. Modern homes can sometimes come off as really cold and not inviting. That's why I use all these elements, bring in the stones,
being the smooth stucco, bring in, the ceramics and that warmth because it really creates an atmosphere that's more inviting for people. And the that I build from
the minute you walk in to the scent to the candle
that's on to the lighting, to the music that's playing, I wanna create an atmosphere for everyone. And I'm all about that I'm all
about creating that energy. - That's awesome and honestly, your personal touches really
show showing these houses because every time I walk in, it's like, I'm trying to discover all
these details that you put in. Like the bathrooms, the
finishes, the kitchen, little details. It honestly shows another
different thing in this house, specifically, the floor plan, right? You come in, you walk in, you
see courtyard from the entry, it's all open, but you have
this corner glass detail. What was the inspiration
behind this design? Because it's a little unique. It's a little different from Melrose area. What was the purpose
for a design like this? - Melrose is a wonderful area
and I'm obsessed with it. This is where I live,
this is where I work, but there's only so much we
can do with the lots we have. That's why a lot of people,
have a stigma when they, look at these homes. 'Cause they'll turn
out, looking like boxes. We wanna get away from that. And it's a bit challenging because we definitely wanna
maximize the square footage, but at the same time we
wanted to have that flow. So when I do my design, I'm
very considerate of that. I make sure we have a cool
layout that flows well. But at the same time, we have to be mindful
of not making it look tacky and it can come off like that because there's only so
much you can work with on these lots - No, I get it. And you wanna maximize it. You want it to feel comfortable. And that's honestly what
this home accomplishes. So I get it because as
soon as you walk in, everything's opened up, your courtyard becomes part of your indoor living space almost
everything flows together. And that was, I feel like that's a really
good differentiating quality of this home compared to
some of the other homes in Melrose district. All right I got another question for you. How long did it take
you to build this house. - Longer than other
developers in this area? I'll tell you that for sure. - Okay. - I don't compromise, if there's something that needs to be done and vision that I have a pendant that's going to
take an extra two months to come I'm committed. I will make sure I get it. And it's little things like that that separates me from these other homes. 'Cause you know, I really, really take that extra step and make sure that that vision that I came
into the project with actually gets implemented. - You actually follow it
through and you make it happen. - I do unfortunately, even if
it breaks my bank, sometimes. - I've been in your position. I've been in that situation
where I committed to my vision and some of my flips, although I knew they were probably not the best financial
decisions, but at the same time, when you put your name on a
project, it's like your pride. It's super important. - Totally. - Thank you for having us here. Thank you for doing this interview. We really appreciate it. I'm glad we get a chance
to learn the inner workings of your business and how you
put these projects together. Lastly, we will love to
see this property at dusk. So if you're cool with it we would like to stay
here a couple more hours and take it out then. - You can sleep here. - (laughs) I appreciate it. Well thank you for having us and let's see the property at dusk. (upbeat music) All right guy so it's 8:30 PM right now. Let's check out this property at night. One thing I did notice during the day is how symmetrical all
these recess lights are throughout the property at night. They really magnified the
architecture of this home. We have the whole living
room, dining room, kitchen, and the same layout opening
up to this courtyard area. You're covered patio, you're dipping pool. I mean the first floor
of this house is really where you get all the
benefits, the living room area, dining room, the kitchen, where you can entertain, enjoy this house. And you guys heard Shai. Although this was a modern home, he wanted to make sure to put
in some of the softer touches, these Spanish details throughout the house to really make it feel
homey and comfortable. And it sure feels that way even at night. And that's pretty much it for this video. I hope everybody enjoyed it. If you did make sure to give us a, like. If you have any questions
or input as always leave us a comment below, if you haven't already make sure to subscribe to our channel, I wanna thank Shai from House of Shoor for allowing us to tour
his amazing development. Make sure to follow him on Instagram. I wanna thank our good friend, Daniel Dahan who's the listing
agent of this property. Make sure to give him a follow up as well. Otherwise we'll see you guys, next week (upbeat music)
