Golden Globe-winning actor Michael Chiklis recently purchased a luxurious Sherman Oaks home for $2.568 million. “The Shield” star picked up the Los Angeles-area home near Benedict Canyon roughly a month after selling a residence in Stone Canyon.

The 3,700-square-foot residence contains four bedrooms and five baths. It’s a new construction,

The house is a recent construction. The concrete-laden exterior mixes contemporary, chalet-style and Japanese influences, and looks glassy and somewhat imposing. The front door fabricated from reclaimed timber offers a bit of overt warmth at the point of ingress, though.

Otherwise, it’s a fairly consistent 21st-century statement, with walls of glass, cement, and an advanced home automation system setting the tone of living.  The smart home makes easy work of controlling climate, music, lighting, and security with acute accuracy.

The residence references the outside world at every opportunity, giving it a good sense of continuation. Series windows, corner windows, and a disappearing bank of glass panels help connect interior life to the exterior landscape.

The master suite is a standout room, with a fireplace, a large walk-in closet, and a luxe bathroom with a large shower. A covered patio, dining terrace, lounging deck, and zero-edge swimming pool fill out the roughly .2 acre lot.
