Flaws Exposed: Enes Yilmazer's FOREST KNOLL Mansion Tour

Welcome to my latest reaction video, where I delve into the $32M property in Hollywood Hills, featured in the Forest Knoll mansion tour by Enes Yilmazer. This luxurious property, listed at $32M and eventually sold for $23.22M, is a prime example of high-end real estate. However, it doesn't quite adhere to the architectural philosophy of "Form follows function."
In this video, I'll critique the property, highlighting both its good and bad aspects. We'll discuss the design choices, the functionality of the spaces, and whether this property can be considered iconic. I'll examine the criteria for what makes a property truly iconic and see if this Hollywood Hills estate meets those standards.
Join me as I provide a thorough analysis, referencing the details shown in Enes Yilmazer's mansion tour. From the impressive features to the questionable design decisions, I'll cover it all. Is this property worth its initial $32M listing price, or is its $23.22M sale price more reflective of its true value?
Don't miss out on this in-depth review of the Forest Knoll property, and make sure to check out other mansion tour videos by Enes Yilmazer. If you enjoy content like this, consider subscribing for more reaction videos and detailed critiques of luxury real estate.

As Arvin says, "form follows function". Gable roofed houses are typically found in cold climates where these roofs help channel snow off the roof. There's no snow in L.A., which is why almost all the roofs you see in these mansions are flat, so the gabled roof has no function. It's just a design idiosyncrasy.

People might call you negative, but I just feel like your greatest attribute as a KZbinr is that you’re a TRUTH TELLER who is clearly very very knowledgeable. For some reason, I stopped watching Enes before I found you because I felt like he talked about every property in excessively glowing terms and some of the properties I felt were absolutely dreadful. And for you to add your domain knowledge to TELL THE TRUTH has been a watershed moment and reinforced my belief in my own intuition. Even when you express emotion of disbelief, frustration, and disappointment all adds to the authenticity of your delivery. I hope one day you can help me buy a house.

I'm from Scandinavia and I remember seeing this house on the Enez canal. When I first saw the house, I thought it looked Scandinavian. That thought quickly disappeared as we moved around the house. Personally, I don't know anyone who has concrete walls. The house lacks the warmth and "coziness" that most Scandinavian homes have. I did not like the house at all.

[@user-gw3ro9uc6b]

For me the main entrance hall is so massive and so empty that it makes the sound and reverb extremely unfriendly. It really makes it feel like Enes is rattling around in that huge space with his voice echoing all over the place. If it were me I would try and address that, finding a way to shut that down a bit, or maybe even play into it with some sort of gentle water feature to at least make it feel like a more natural and get rid of that uncanny feeling. In fact that whole first floor has the same feeling. It was a relief when they went into the garden. Also, that bar area should be a cosy games area with pool or a ping-pong table .

Mikey was the only truth teller. When he was “let go”, there was nobody left. That is why Arvin’s videos are so important.

[@beatrix6504]

Architects who design spaces with windows solely at either end of a building, and there are many such architects, do not understand how that makes people feel in those spaces. Those architects have not figured out that doing something very simple, like adding a third wall of windows, will help make people feel like they are in a home rather than a wind tunnel. Those architects have clearly spent no time looking at homes and then trying to figure out what makes a home cozy and welcoming vs what makes a space feel like a gigantic cave. Those architects are very mediocre and do not create iconic homes.

[@gregpendrey6711]

Yeah I live in the middle townhouse. I have framed cc TV monitors showing my east and west non views. Move the center volume forward 6 feet here. At minimum.

[@beatrix6504]

@@gregpendrey6711 That would have been a really good idea - to move the center building forward. Great point.

And also, having windows that go all the way up to a double or triple height ceiling is pointless unless you have a mezzanine or loft from which to enjoy an elevated view.

I don't understand why they put in that 4th seating area in volume 3. Why not make it a massive kitchen, chef's kitchen, and dining space? The current kitchen and dining space is slightly larger than my those of my midrange apartment. The 1st guest bedroom gives prison vibes with those weird windows with no decent view. It's not accessible from the other parts of the house. Is it for your least favorite guest or nanny?

In nearly all of these mansion tours, they’ll have “home theaters” that have as much thought put into them as a garage. There’s just no attempt at a custom build-out that would satisfy the enthusiast. Ardie Tavangarian’s houses seem to be the exception but that’s not too surprising 😁

You - rightfully - pick apart this ridiculous thing, but ignoring the guy making absurd statements is baffling. As the guy walks into the front courtyard, he calls it 'cozy with lots of natural stone'. It's not cozy whatsoever - it's imposing - it's not human scale - it's commercial/industrial scale. And there isn't any natural stone to be found - it's all white stucco and horribly-cold board formed concrete. The guy repeats the nonsense about being 'cozy' when discussing the horrible fireplace. There's nothing cozy about that building - it's just big, empty, tiresomely unimaginative space that's absurdly overpriced.

Sometimes it feels like Enes just came back after a long time in the desert or jungles far away from civilization. So he is amazed alll the time and loves basically everything (especially views).

I think Arvin complements Enes perfectly. Enes will never find a fault with any house / mansion and this kind of attitude is what gets him in the mansions. However now that we have someone roaming and filming around the mansion, we can get all the flaws exposed from someone else (Arvin) that most likely would never be let into the house 😂 In the movie world that would be a scenario for a heist 🤣

[@_fwd_racecar_]

@13:54 As a scotch whisky anorak, I've been roasting "luxury" bars for years now. From what i can see there's 4 bottles of bourbon and 1 bottle of scotch. Most whisky enthusiasts move away from bourbon over time because virgin oak casks are one-dimensional, overpowering, and boring. Also the brands here and usually elsewhere are not top shelf, not worthy of a millionaire. the knob creek, bulleit, and elijah craig here are standard mid-shelf stuff, because i doubt the ec is barrel proof. The highland park scotch (although i cant read the age statement) is actually a better brand than a mccallan or johnnie walker seen most places; which is for people like josh altman who ordered jw blue label on the rocks during an episode just to pretend to look classy because all the marketing ads told him it is. which brings us to glassware, serious whisky drinkers don't use tumblers and ice, and these bars never have tulip shaped whisky glasses, you'd have to use a wine glass. If you're into wine, this is like if they stocked the bar with carlo rossi, barefoot, and franzia. You could say oh it's just staging, but i've seen really expensive bars in hotels and cruise ships that offer the same mixing swill. and at this price point you wouldnt stage the deck with plastic lawn chairs either. -- forgot to add, lots of bars like this one are in direct sunlight, and light exposure deteriorates flavor. the bar should be in a shaded part of the home. this is squarely facing a window, and with mirrors that dont absorb light, but reflect it back at the bottles.

A bit of the problems could have been avoided easily: No sloping down from the gate, you enter on the upper floor where you've still got more than enough height and get the special roof feeling for a formal space, family room/kitchen and primary, maybe still room for a guest/staff room above the garage. then downstairs you get a central bar/entertainment space opening up to the pool, two bedrooms with views a third bedroom on the side and movie/gym spaces

Question about the AC vents being on the floor. How can you cool a house with ceiling heights that big with AC vents on the floor instead of from the ceiling with good diffusers? Isn't that house just going to be seriously uncomfortable in the LA heat in the summers? Not to even mention the electric bills with the AC always pumping trying to cool it off.

Cool air being dense will stay closer to floor and living space. So I guess should not be an issue.

- Put a round dining table with a Lazy-Susan (seats more people than a rectangular one) in the first house where the kitchen is (and also enlarge that kitchen and throw out the seating area there as you don't need it) - Then a landscaped lounge lounge in the middle house (maybe a deSede Colina or Snake sofa) - and finally in the third house where the "bar" is you add a billiards table (with extra covers to turn it into a ping-pong or additional dining table) - If pocket doors are not feasible at least the could've thought about huge folding glass doors - It's not iconic

[@danielquevedo5064]

The shape of those three volumes is just lazy design. It's a module repeated three time with the only variation being on the one that elongates towards the entry of the property where it can't be seen. The way that design limits the interior design and the livability of the house is just not worth it. A clear example of an architect who priorizes making an "statement" over the life quality of the people who will actually live in the property

[@richardnasluchacz3227]

The structure shape looks like a logo for a home decor mega store. And having gable ends of roofs coming together at flat sections? That’s a disastrous leak waiting to happen. It’s like living inside three plastic house playing pieces from Monopoly. The best thing is the view. For the same money a much better house can be bought in Laguna, with an even better view.

[@GeorgeDamon]

I am shocked that Arvin didn't nail them for having to open a door on the island to access an outlet. And why did they waste so much space on just one? Is it just me, or do the windows look unusually small and cheap for an expensive house? This house is awful in every way, not the least of which is that it feels like three different houses with no cohesion. If a house is going to become a home, it has to create a better sense of unity and togetherness than this.

[@mymasmith7848]

Bar room (right volume) becomes the music room, stereo, record player, bucu shelves and rawers for media. Kitchen room (left volume) - redo the kitchen, add real pantry around the back of current kitchen back wall, incl butlers pantry, where couches are current put in statement table and moderne chandelier.

Thanks Arvin! I’ll tell you what’s also not a wow factor, driving down Forest Knoll Dr. It’s like driving down an alley, or an iconic Hollywood Hills “Dr.” I’ve disliked the design of this house for years and couldn’t understand why the architect/builder set the house so far back on the knoll, resulting in tunnel vision views to San Pedro and RPV (not even PV and a bit of Catalina). If you and your guests have to climb into the pool to enjoy the view, you have a crappy view. Could have moved the house to the edge and put an indoor pool on the street side of pods 1, 2, or 3. Overall very poor design for the property.

[@FleaOnPeanut]

Shelves in the master near the door had a weird configuration that didn't gel. Window in shower had an open view to 4-5 houses that could easily look in. Especially at night.

[@Vlad_a450]

I am confused! Walk-through rooms are usually a reason to knock 20-30% off the price. But every time you see walk-through rooms, you are simply delighted! The "flow" of one space into another is a big problem. Such real estate is not worth millions; it's barely worth a couple of thousand! Maybe you can explain how it turns out that walk-through rooms are a good thing for you? Where does your fear of corridors come from?

[@nousernamesarevalid]

[@abialo2010]

dang that was one of my favorite enes videos. you really opened my eyes to that place. for years i thought that was a cool place. good points

[@EmilyW.isawakenotwoke]

The first time I saw this property, it was furnished and displayed SO much better than this. It looks plain to ugh now.

[@maxxlimited]

I feel like this house is a big missed opportunity ruined by poor floor planning and staging. However, I honestly think the center volume is pretty awesome (minus the staging), and the loft at the entrance point is a clever way of executing the classic compression/expansion needed to emphasize the large volume and the view. Other than that, I feel like the rest of the house is kind of a miss and feels like a 5M-10M home rather than a 30M home.

Arvin, after watching your videos I'm starting to notice things (good and bad) in house locations and interior designs that I never noticed before, love your videos habibi

The theatre seating reminds me of Rooms To Go.

When would you ever use the front entrance? Maybe guests would use it but the owners would likely always be parking in the garage and then enter through that entrance. So the effort on that front entrance goes to waste.

Iconic, one of the more overused words by realtors along with Mid Century Modern. Definitely distinctive though as you can see in the wide shot of the hill behind, this house sticks out in a good way for me. I also noticed it in the background of another house Enes reviewed so distinctive is more apt imo.

This tour makes me miss Mikey so much more now, because Mikey was what always grounded these glimpses into world of the ultra-rich. Mikey leant his eyes and senses to these homes and gave the tours the much-needed grounded reaction to a world so far-removed from 99.9% of the population. Without Mikey, Enes's property tours are just extended promotional advertisements for expensive properties.

[@Heartbreakin]

I always thought any energy that was in this place just flowed straight out . Leaving it empty. Especially in the main hall . And perhaps thats why Mikey wanted to find himself a cubbyhole .

[@chrisogrady28]

That house is character-less, looking at that exterior shot with the horrible garden it just looks like a reality TV house

[@upperclass1287]

The next time I see a poorly designed use of space that results in a fragmentation of the design, it will forever be called a “rat hole nook”. 🤣 That phrase will live rent free in my brain for a very long time.

[@AntonioSanchez0724]

That damn knock,knock, feature... 😂

[@gelmibson883]

Best part of these real estate guys is the same mental lines and acting it out as if its the most profound thing just discovered: "and here we have a glas door" ok and ? " we can open it" Woooo!!!!

[@cherylynreyes3693]

That's my favorite mansion ever toured by Enes. but now that i am watching you . My perspective differ 😊

[@kristoferjakistam832]

20:09 knock knock. who's there? dirty dishes 🤪

[@paultaylor5513]

No, Mikey

[@SylvainOfGandahar]

Knock knock - who is there? Just opening the dishwasher..... The same guy who came up with that design also thought that it was a good idea to take the original row-house design and turn it in a single-family mansions. Also - that design was created for European towns or cities where they force you to have a sloped roof for their own mostly antiquated reasons. None of that applies in California - it's done only for badly advised aesthetic reasons. The entire house design was truly created for high end row-houses in tight European cities and then it makes sense.

[@pin65371]

That kitchen should have a place to sit instead of having it flat. Also why would you want the laundry room on the main floor when the bedrooms are on the second floor? Most of your laundry would be from the bedrooms.

[@shalakabooyaka1480]

Idk, multiple seating areas make sense to me. Whenever we would have large family gatherings people would clump up in different areas having different conversations. At my parents for thanksgiving a few people would be in the dining room playing cards, some in the living room, some in the family room, some out on the deck.

[@grabboid1017]

By watching your videos, it’s looking more and more like Enes tours are incentive based.

[@johnv8408]

I also am an expert at selling mansions. Here are some points you missed: 1. Why would anyone want to look at downtown LA? It's flat, spread out and covered in smog - I guess it's good to look out on and think, I'm glad I don't live down there. 2. A couple of $20 mats and a Peloton does not a gym make. 3. The pantry in the catering kitchen is small and too open. 4. The entire interior screams IKEA not mansion. 5. In 20 years, the wood paneling is going to feel like the brown and yellow stoves and refrigerators from the 60s. 6. Very uninspiring staircases. $16.5M at most.

[@tarab9530]

Mikee is back!

[@ArvinHaddadOfficial]

Kinda

[@C-24-Brandan]

Love your videos!! Your point of view, opinions ect are appreciated. You by far have the best real estate/mansion review channel, your videos never get dull boring or seem like you're reading from a script like it does with Enes.
