are inside this Greenwich Village

property that has seen New York grow up

all around it and the Westchester home

of New York basketball great Allan

Houston architect David Freeland shows

off a unique project nestled in an LA

hillsides but before all that we are in

an entertainers dream home above the

Sunset Strip the pool deck has all the

amenities that will make you question

getting on a plane for your vacation

[Music]

welcome to open house today I'm coming

to you from this impressive glass

wrapped xxx penthouse in the heart of

New York's theater district it embraces

the glitz and glam of Broadway while

also providing serene spaces to curl up

in comfort and get away from it all

imagine the parties you can throw in

this corner great room that features

jaw-dropping 25-foot ceilings and direct

access to an over 40-foot terrace there

are two sculptural staircases that

connect each floor and despite its

modern open flow each area is defined

and distinct including the dining areas

the two kitchens and the four

comfortable bedrooms so care to guess

how much this 4 bedroom over 4,300

square foot penthouse is well we're

gonna reveal it at the end of the show

but in the meantime send us your

estimates on Twitter Facebook or

Instagram at open house TV let's get

started above the Sunset Strip in LA

this ultra-modern gem features bright

open entertaining spaces with walls of

glass and easy access to the terrace

grounds add that to a whole host of

wellness features and you have a home

that truly embraces that quintessential

Cali lifestyle and those views of West

Hollywood in downtown are not to be

missed

check it out

I'm Michelle Oliver with Douglas Elliman

of Beverly Hills welcome to 1162 Sunset

Hills Road this incredible house is

located on over 8,500 square feet with

five bedrooms six baths with an amazing

outdoor pool and Cabana a deck area as

you walk through enormous glass door

with a biometric keypad you're greeted

into a two-story entryway filled with

light with a glass staircase that's an

architectural masterpiece to the left of

the foyer is the formal sitting room

which gives your guests that wow factor

when I come over for a visit this room

is an entertainers dream complete with a

sunken bar glass for days giving you a

view of pool below a piano and modern

furnishings for that extra added touch

but when you finish those first drinks

of the evening it's time for dinner and

this house is a truly killer dining room

with seating for up to 12 the dining

room is outfitted with a walkin glass

wine cooler a gorgeous modern chandelier

and wood floors to tie in all the

elements but the real heart of the home

is the kitchen which is just next door

the state-of-the-art kitchen is all

about function while hiding everything

in plain sight from the appliances to

the matching motorized cabinets if I

were to describe this space in one word

it will be sexy but my favorite stealthy

little feature is the dual purpose

mirrored backsplash which also doubles

as a monitor for your security cameras

how cool is that and we all know the

kitchen is where everyone lands at some

point in the evening that's why this

space is shared with the two-story

sitting area so your guests can settle

in and be comfortable all night long but

that's the real this is La who wants to

stay inside

for those hot SoCal days the pool deck

located in the back of the house is

where it's at

ripped right out of a luxury Vegas

resort the pool deck has all the

amenities that will make you question

getting on a plane for your vacation

here you'll find an alfresco dining area

lounge chairs to work on that tan and a

saltwater pool with integrated hot tub

to keep you cool all summer long at the

end of the day after you've picked all

the guests out the master suite becomes

your sanctuary here you can relax an

ultra-modern space with a textured

marble fireplace do a little reading on

the private balcony and soak the day

away in your oversized freestanding tub

and of closet spaces in necessity the

master closet has enough room to fit a

pop-up boutique what more could a

Shopaholic want

thank you so much for joining me on this

tour of 1152 Sunset Hills it's such a

fun beautiful place and I'm so glad I

got the opportunity to share with you

[Music]

coming up an architectural stunner built

right into the hillside

[Music]

welcome back to open house now we join

architect David Freeland of the firm

Freeland buck at one of their newest

projects a home nestled into the

hillside of the Mount Washington

neighborhood in Los Angeles this unique

custom home epitomizes the ease of

California living set before some of

LA's most stunning views hi my name is

David Freeland from Freeland buck I'm an

architect and I designed this house

stackhouse the reason why we call it

Stackhouse is because each room of the

house gets its own cube those cubes

stack up on top of each other in a kind

of informal and casual way this is one

of the most exciting houses that we've

designed and I'm excited to show you the

project the first thing you notice when

you arrive at the house is that it's

four storeys in height a design

challenge for us was how to make this

entry into the house an exciting one the

first pallet is concrete and moves up

through the embedded portion of the site

where we broke up the two sets of stairs

was to add a guest room between the

first and second level as you come up

the second flight of stairs you arrive

at a deck area that looks out to the

north could be a dining patio it could

be a relaxation space the first thing

you notice when you enter the house is

that the floor plan is organized into

separate rooms not a great room where

everything is connected and you'll

notice curved walls the curves begin to

stitch them back together again and make

it feel like a unified space from the

kitchen the curved walls open up visual

connections to other areas of the house

you can see through to the dining room

the windows on two sides led in an ample

California sunlight it makes this a

really rich and enjoyable room to hang

out in so when you're ready to kick back

and lounge you can head on over to the

den

smaller windows in this room the lower

light levels it's cozy it's warmer

there's a lot of soft things to hangout

on and the different environment than in

other rooms in the house

the rear patio could be a place to put a

barbecue to have dinner to enjoy the

more natural setting of the hillside

area that surrounds the house in this

outdoor space we try to use materials

that were more natural but also pops of

color so the hex tile that's on both the

patio floor but also turns up on to the

foundation of the house gives you a kind

of enclosed feeling you're in a room in

nature Messiah in the house is a kind of

play on board and batten siding made

with cement board we created two

alternating patterns to break down the

house into smaller parts so it's not one

big single volume but multiple the kind

of boxes that stack one on the next when

you're done enjoying the outdoor space

another half flight of stairs takes you

up to the bedrooms in the home there's

three bedrooms at the fourth level and

now my favorite part of the house the

master suite you enter the master

bedroom through a curved wall first

thing you see are amazing expansive

views out to the mountains the door out

to the balcony allows for the balcony to

really feel like it's part of the room

connects you to the mountains it feels

like you're floating up above the trees

you look back down on the four levels

that you've come up each one its own

geometric shape each one with its own

character and its own relationship to

nature

thank you for joining me at Stackhouse

enjoying all the different levels views

geometries catch you next time

going up in just a few if you're a

basketball fan our next place might

interest you but if you're a New York

Knicks fan you're gonna love it stick

around

[Music]

now we're in Westchester New York at the

family home of New York Knicks legend

Allan Houston this custom-built estate

was modeled on a French chateau and it's

filled with classic furnishings in an

open layout but give it a refined yet

relaxed air you'll also get to see one

of the places where Allan perfected that

sweet swish that he always anyway I know

that didn't look very sweet but dumb

check this out

[Music]

I'm Jenny lens and I'm dolly lens and

we're from dolly lens real estate

welcome to Conyers farms or class

location on the border of Greenwich and

West Chester today we're at the home of

former Nick shooting guard Alan Houston

one of my favorite players growing up

and we are so excited to tour you

through this magnificent property so

what are we waiting for let's go inside

let's go

this magnificent home was actually

custom-built for Alan and his family it

was inspired by a French chateau and you

approach the home along the meandering

tree-lined driveway that just has this

way of getting rid of all the stresses

of the city just 45 minutes away

the stately limestone facade sets the

tone for the use of all the fine

materials that appear throughout this

magnificent home and at nearly 20

thousand square feet there's just so

much to see so why don't we divide and

conquer mom let's do it this marble

entry foyer is a true hub of which you

can access every area of the home but

you are drawn into this grand living

room this home was actually designed by

mrs. Houston and is a great example of

personalized interiors that still feel

universal the furnishings are

classically inspired with multiple

seating areas that give this huge space

a warm and inviting vibe there are so

many beautiful details here just check

out this two sided fireplace shared with

the equally fabulous formal dining room

the Venetian plaster walls wide plank

oak floors there's even a step up music

area with a grand piano that you can't

help but feel you're on stage the music

room even has a goldleaf ceiling

how's that for bling there's a curved

wall of windows where you can take in

the bucolic views and to get closer to

those views you can just step out on the

terrace

this home is sited on over 10 acres of

beautiful park-like grounds it's filled

with rolling lawns winding paths and

mature trees and it all leads down to a

private lake but this expansive

bluestone Terrace is really where it's

at it along with the gunite pool and spa

make you feel like you're on vacation

all year this home is in a word

enchanting

[Music]

and speaking of enchanting imagine

holidays right here this dining room

feels classic yet modern with all this

natural light and an easy open flow from

the living room but all dining rooms

deserve a good kitchen right I'll let my

mom show that to you even though she

can't cook I heard you and yes it's true

I can't cook but I can still appreciate

a fabulous kitchen

this one is styled after a country

kitchen and it features a fabulous tin

ceiling it also connects the informal

dining area with the family room this is

a true heart of the home for the Houston

family and there's seven beautiful

children but let's take a look at where

Allen goes to get some work done

this office in architecture inspired

trophy room is where Allen keeps most of

his memorabilia from his twelve year

playing career and if you're a Knicks

fan like I am you will love it

the dark wood details and beautiful

coffered ceilings make it feel like a

classic executives office and the

terrace is a great place for champagne

after closing that big deal but enough

about work let's play this basketball

court is just one of the many amazing

things down here in the entertain level

it features cherry wood paneling and

handsome barrel vaulted ceilings not

only is this where Allen practices his

legendary shot but this also makes a

great entertaining area in fact the

Houston family has hosted many charity

events and fundraisers and even heads of

state right here but that's not all the

entertainment level features there's a

gym you could probably charge membership

fees for a bar area and a screening room

that feels more like a movie theater

what more could you ask for

[Music]

I hope you enjoyed this rare look at

Allan Houston and his family's beautiful

home in Congress farms this estate is

truly one-of-a-kind and is ready for a

new owner to call it home Wow nice shot

Jenni and you can do that in heels you

are much better than me I can't even do

it in sneakers

coming up next New York history in this

reddit's village home or maybe I should

say homes see what I mean in just a few

[Music]

welcome back now we're on New York's

Grove Street one of the West villages

most picturesque streets and in the

neighborhood filled with its fair share

of history this near 200 year old

country-style home the last wood-framed

home in the village definitely has a

story to tell

we joined broker Jane Beall for a closer

look

hi there

I'm Jane Beale from the Corcoran Group

welcome to the West Village the West

Village is one of the most fun hip and

beautiful neighborhoods in the entire

city

and if you know the village you probably

recognize this house originally built in

1822 it is the oldest remaining wood

frame house in Greenwich Village with

its clobbered siding detailed cornice

window shutters and three exposures

that's just the front exterior there's

so much more to see inside follow me

[Music]

upon entering the parlor of this 200

year old home you'll immediately see

that there's still plenty of original

detail notice the wide pine floorboards

the hand-cut beams and the working

fireplace one of the recent additions is

this cleverly hidden elevator this is a

perfect place to entertain or just relax

by the fire but when it's time to

replenish your guests drinks and hors

d'oeuvres

about the perfect place for that

when you enter the large eat-in kitchen

you get the feeling you're in an old

house in the country rather than a home

in downtown Manhattan one of the most

beautiful features of the kitchen is

this original hearth which now houses a

modern six burner stove and I just love

these beautiful antique brick floors

which extend all the way from the

entryway to the kitchen

this kitchen is all about country charm

which can be seen in the handcrafted

wood beams in the ceiling and custom

cabinetry throughout and just like in a

real country house you open your kitchen

door to your own private outdoor space

[Music]

across the backyard just see a really

unique feature of this property a

completely separate two-story house with

its own address 100 Bedford Street was

built as a workshop for the original

owner in 1833 was gut renovated in the

1990s now there's a living room with a

gas fireplace full kitchen and dining

area and upstairs is an office and a

bedroom with a very unique shower the

little house out back would be perfect

for an office for guests or it could be

used as a rental unit it's not often in

New York City that you can buy a house

that has its own a second house

downstairs is a finished basement with

full height tin ceilings but the most

intriguing part is around the corner

hidden beneath the basement floor is a

trapdoor to what once was a tunnel to

Chumley's the prohibition-era

speakeasies down the block the tunnel

was also believed to have been part of

the Underground Railroad so there you

have it a genuine piece of New York

history thank you for coming coming up

supplement to the annual report and

focuses specifically on millennial

millionaires Millennials are the largest

adult generation of buyers right now

there's something called the great

wealth transfer Millennials are

inheriting their baby boomer parents

wealth and by 2030 Millennials will have

five times the wealth they have today

that's roughly sixty eight trillion

dollars and this is going to impact us

as real estate agents on how we work

with our clients moving forward

Millennials lived through the recession

so although in the beginning they were

slow going and they were renters buying

homes is what is important to them

what we're finding is that Millennials

want walkability and they want a home

that is done they want turnkey walk

right in they do also want their homes

to be smart homes and have everything at

their fingertips when it comes to social
