Description
Experience the tranquil "Santa Monica Canyon" lifestyle in the heart of the Encino Hills with this stunningly remodeled and expanded contemporary home, perfectly positioned at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac just minutes from Mulholland Drive. A striking ridge glass double door entry reveals a dramatic, skylit living room anchored by a vaulted ceiling and a slate faced fireplace, while natural toned vinyl floors lead you into an expansive gourmet kitchen featuring granite counters, stainless steel appliances, and a sun drenched breakfast room with sliding French doors. The main level also offers a cozy family/media room with a nearby guest bedroom or home office, while the upstairs serves as a private retreat with two additional bedrooms and a spacious master suite boasting serene treetop views and a light infused marble bath complete with a spa tub, rain shower, and custom walk in closet. Outside, the lush grounds include a tranquil side yard and a backyard oasis with a slate tiled pergola shaded outdoor dining pavilion and kitchen/BBQ center overlooking a refreshing plunge pool and spa. For ultimate relaxation, a meandering hillside path ascends to a meditation pergola, offering breathtaking views of the mountains and valley lights, all while providing excellent Westside access and placement within the sought after Lanai Road Charter Elementary School district.
