About This Home

As of July 2019

Nestled at the base of the Santa Monica Mountains Preserve, this custom designed Tarzana retreat is a Zen paradise. The architecturally sophisticated home sits on over 31,000 sft of meticulously manicured, park-like, grounds that seamlessly blend into the backdrop of the Santa Monica Mountains. As you enter through the front door you are greeted by a light-filled formal living room, high ceilings, and seamlessly flowing floor-plan. The gourmet kitchen offers an expansive island and custom built-in work area. It was completely remodeled with high-end finishes such as Bouquet Canyon Stone Flooring, Omega Solid-Wood cabinets and top of the line appliances. The dining room offers a stunning view of the lush, tree-lined, backyard and sparkling pool. The spacious family room is a perfect hang-out spot and features a large flat screen TV and stacked stone fireplace. A downstairs bedroom and bathroom offer versatility and convenience. Upstairs, the master bedroom boasts vaulted-ceilings and cedar-lined walk-in-closet. The remaining upstairs bedrooms are generously sized and bathrooms are recently remodeled. The 3-car garage and large driveway afford plenty of parking. Not to be outdone and, much more than a "guest-house”, The Japanese House, built in 2005-2006, was based on a 16th century design for a Japanese country pole house and was featured on HGTV on Kenneth Brown’s “reDesign.” Come home and enjoy: Privacy, Open-Space, and Stunning Architectural Design.
