Description
Tucked away in the hills of Tarzana, this newly constructed estate is set behind private gates on an expansive 16,000+ sqft lot, offering a rare sense of seclusion and serenity. From the moment you arrive, there is an unmistakable feeling of having found something truly special. Grand double doors open to an awe-inspiring open-concept interior where soaring ceilings and dramatic walls of glass frame the natural light like living art. Sunlight pours in, illuminating refined finishes and creating an atmosphere that feels both elevated and warmly inviting. Every detail has been thoughtfully curated to balance modern sophistication with effortless comfort. At the heart of the home, the epicurean kitchen is a statement of style and substance. Outfitted with top-tier appliances, an impressive center island, and an expansive walk-in pantry, it is designed as much for gathering as it is for culinary excellence. The formal dining room, complete with a built-in beverage refrigerator, sets the stage for elegant dinner parties and intimate celebrations alike. An oversized sliding glass door disappears to seamlessly unite the living room with the outdoors, transforming everyday living into a resort-like experience. The backyard is a private sanctuary, lush, tranquil, and designed for both indulgence and connection. Lounge beside the shimmering pool and spa, entertain effortlessly in the cabana with its 3/4 bath, or savor evenings under the pergola with a fully appointed outdoor kitchen as the sun sets over the hills. The main level continues to impress with a thoughtfully designed media room, perfect for cinematic evenings and elevated entertaining, alongside a versatile bonus room, a gracious ensuite guest bedroom, a sophisticated powder room, and a mudroom with direct access to the two-car garage. Upstairs, the primary suite unfolds as a retreat of true refinement. A private balcony offers a peaceful vantage point, while the oversized dual walk-in closets provide boutique-inspired luxury. The spa-inspired bath is a haven of relaxation, featuring a sculptural soaking tub, an expansive 2-person rainfall shower, a floating oversized vanity with dual sinks, a dedicated makeup vanity, and a private water closet, an environment designed for restoration and calm. Three additional ensuite bedrooms, a dedicated laundry room, and a sun-drenched balcony complete the upper level with both comfort and elegance. Fully integrated with a Control4 smart home system, the residence offers seamless command of lighting, climate, audio, and a comprehensive security system featuring exterior cameras, bringing modern ease to refined living. Ideally situated South of the Boulevard within an exceptional school district, this extraordinary property offers the rare balance of privacy and proximity to the finest dining, shopping, and lifestyle amenities the valley has to offer, yet worlds away in its peace and exclusivity.
