ARTISTIC DESIGNS: the entire house has been designed with motifs of infinity and eternity.
Built on solid rock, the CONSTRUCTION and CRAFTMANSHIP of this house is way bove the present standards of construction. The ARCHITECTURAL ORIGINALITY, as well as the MOTIFS OF ETERNITY AND INFINITY in its interior and exterior, give the house a uniqueness very difficult to duplicate.
This house is so UNIQUE that there is no known architectural classification for its style. With all its creative and hand carved fixtures, it is truly a piece of art and, as such, cannot be valued by its size but by its creativity. A work of art has no comparables in the market. Would anybody sell a Picasso based on the square footage of the work?
It's view from SUNRISE TO SUNSET is breathtaking; it includes downtown Los Angeles and it goes as far as Catalina island.
Built and decorated according to the laws of FENG SHUI, the ancient Chinese art of living, the laws of energy and harmony of the universe have been carefully considered in designing this beautiful sanctuary. Respecting the rules of Feng Shui allows the flow of positive energy into the house, assisting its inhabitants to attract love, fame, money, health, and to enjoy the protection of higher powers. For example, the foyer has a fountain in its center to attract prosperity and abundance. This custom-designed marble fountain, with recycling water, has a marble pedestal which holds an antique Italian marble statue
(estimated to be approximately 300 years old) which was featured in the 1950's era movie "The State of the Union, with Katherine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy. Another example is the Family Room fireplace which faces the entrance in order to incite and ignite the energies of fame and success. Their locations are crucial to obtaining the desired results.
Furthermore, the POTENTIAL of this particular house is enormous. A third floor, if desired, can be easily built, as well as a decked pool house or a guesthouse. Additionally, the City of Glendale has announced plans to build a lively town center with shops, restaurants and theaters. Once the plan in under construction the value of properties will increase, skyrocketing the value of this city landmark.
