2215 Canyon Dr in Hollywood Hills

MLS#: 12-586681 | 6bd, 4ba | 2,838 Sq ft (per MLS)
Offered at $1,350,000

I pass by this house often on our daily walk with the twins and have always wondered what it must be like on the inside. Well, last week I got a chance to check it out. What surprised me was how spacious it really was. From the street it looks fairly unassuming given its set back and single level structure. Once you walk in though the high-beamed ceilings and open living area with access to the backyard give it a large voluminous vibe.
