Actor-entrepreneur Edison Chen snaps up a newly built home in Larchmont

"Completed last year, the two-story contemporary features 12-foot ceilings, wood accent walls and modern fixtures throughout. A wall of windows underscores the dramatic two-story entry.

Pocketing glass doors off the common areas open grounds containing to a patio and a rectangular swimming pool with a spa."
