Buy a Rocky, Renovated Fickett in Fryman Canyon for $3.4M

Architect Edward Fickett usually brings to mind posts and beams, but this quarry-draining house in Studio City's celeb-studded Fryman Canyon has been subjected to a "sweeping renovation" that's left it more ledgestone and quartzite. (The listing says just installing all that rock took three years.) The kitchen of the four-bedroom, one-story pad is decked out with Italian cabinets and fancy Meile appliances. There is also "a meditation atrium," wine storage, an outdoor shower, and a fireplace. With pretty much every giant glass window outfitted with the ability to slide into the wall, it almost feels like the saltwater pool is indoors. All of this "Sumptuous minimalism" is asking $3.395 million.
