Description
You cannot beat this innovative Interest-rate buy down available to offer 3.75% interest for Year 1, and 4.75% in Year 2!. A full year of creative inspiration and dedicated craftsmanship renovated this exciting and exotic home to superlative heights. Now newly priced at a compelling valuation. The previous buyer who offered significantly more money just weeks ago, changed their mind, and now this opportunity is ready for a lucky new owner. "The Ambra" rises quietly at the end of a hidden Encino cul-de-sac, a California fantasy of warmth, mystery and sleek, sophisticated style. Behind double gates and swaying trees in the celebrity-studded Rancho Estates, the world softens - this is like the album cover of "Hotel California" - the kind of place people arrive at and never want to leave. It's a unique privilege to live in a house on a property where every detail has been studied and considered, then those new ideas and designs are executed with the highest level of committed craftsmanship. By day, sunlight spills across white oak floors and dances along curved archways beneath soaring 30-foot wood-beamed ceilings. Brass fixtures gleam like gold records in the afternoon light. A gym for morning rituals. A secluded office for moments of solitude. Basketball at sunset. At night, the pool shimmers like desert water beneath moonlight. Arched lounge niches feel borrowed from some hidden Mediterranean hideaway. The primary suite feels like a private retreat from the outside world Venetian plaster, spa-like finishes, dual water closets, and the kind of quiet luxury usually reserved for faraway boutique resorts. Everything flows effortlessly here. The indoor spaces. The outdoor spaces. The energy. The escape. Five fireplaces flicker softly against newly plastered walls, casting a warm amber glow through rooms built for hosting friends and family. And though Ventura Boulevard, Downtown LA, Van Nuys airport, the Hollywood Bowl, and Burbank Airport all remain just minutes away, they somehow feel worlds apart once the gates close safely behind you. "The Ambra" is an homage to a beautiful lifestyle.
