Description
Set in a prime Encino location in the heart of the South Valley, this classic 1951 Mid-Century residence presents a rare opportunity to reimagine, renovate, or create something entirely new. Offering nearly 3,600 square feet of living space on an impressive 16,913 square foot lot, the property combines generous proportions, timeless architectural character, and exceptional future potential. A grand double-door entry opens to a spacious interior with the clean lines and distinctive charm associated with Mid-Century design. The rear of the home is lined with glass, which fills the living spaces with natural light and creates a strong connection to the backyard. The oversized kitchen features a large dining area overlooking the grounds and is enhanced by a dramatic skylight above. A huge living room with a fireplace and wet bar provides a natural gathering space, while a separate formal dining room offers additional room for upscale entertaining. The floor-plan includes four very generously sized bedrooms and three bathrooms. The expansive primary suite is designed as a private retreat with direct access to the backyard, a cedar-lined walk-in closet, and a private bath with dual sinks and a shower. A secondary en-suite bedroom includes its own private bathroom, while bedrooms three and four share a hall bath with a shower. Outside, the scale of the lot becomes immediately apparent. The backyard features a massive swimming pool, patio, mature trees, and substantial open yard space, creating an outstanding canvas for a resort-style outdoor setting, expanded entertaining areas, gardens, or other creative improvements. For a buyer with vision, this property offers multiple possibilities: preserve and transform the existing Mid-Century home into a customized modern residence, or explore the potential of the large lot as the setting for a newly built custom estate. With its substantial footprint, expansive parcel, and highly desirable Encino location, this is a unique opportunity to create a home tailored to today’s lifestyle while taking full advantage of a property with remarkable scale and potential. Whether restored with respect for its original Mid-Century character or completely re-envisioned from the ground up, the possibilities here are limited only by imagination.
