As of September 2021Spectacular walled/gated classic traditional home in this highly sought after Amestoy Estates position, approx half acre tree studded corner lot; completely private, rambling grounds, a great family house with pool. One story Cape-Cod style house with 5 bedrooms + office; rich wood flooring, vaulted ceilings, french windows and fireplaces in all main living areas/bedrooms; motor court, 3 car garage presently converted to amazing den; an entertainers dream. Decorated with superb taste and refinement, the stunning architecture and character of the original 1950 house remain intact. Flooded with light throughout, the flow is a delight; the large scale of the rooms and grounds gives a tremendous sense of space and sanctuary. Inside/outside living at it's very best. An opportunity to purchase an elegant house of this quality within walking distance of Encino's best restaurants and stores, does not come along often. Must be seen asap to fully appreciate, this one will not last!
