Built in 1985

This exceptional property, available for the first time on the market, was built in 1985 and designed by Clyde Smith AIA. Situated in the Lake Encino neighborhood, the house spans approximately 5,018 square feet and rests on a generous 17,600 square foot lot, offering an incredible view of the valley lights. The home showcases modern style architecture, featuring an abundance of glass and grand scale rooms. While the interior could benefit from updating, the floorplan is excellent and presents remarkable potential. The step-down living room boasts vaulted wood ceilings and a marble fireplace. The elegant formal dining room is adorned with a stunning chandelier. The family room features coffered ceilings, a fireplace, and a step-down wet bar. The large kitchen is equipped with a butcher block wood center island, a spacious eating area, and a large walk-in pantry. The main level is completed by a powder room, maid’s bedroom and bathroom, and a laundry room. A dramatic floating staircase with rounded wall and large glass windows leads you into the Upstairs where you will find three en-suite bedrooms and a library or office space with walls of built-in bookcases. The primary suite is impressively large, with a raised platform for the bed, vaulted wood ceilings, a fireplace, wet bar, balcony, and three walk-in closets. The suite includes two bathrooms—one featuring a dressing table and a fully tiled tub and shower that won an award from the Ceramic Tile Institute, and the other with a spa tub, separate shower, and sauna. The rear grounds offer a serene outdoor experience, complete with a covered patio, pool and spa with waterfalls, gazebo, barbecue, and firepit. The decking is edged in Bouquet Canyon stone. The property includes a three-car garage. This home provides an exceptional opportunity for a buyer looking for a stunning property in an excellent location.
