Elementary School: Roscomare Road Elementary School (9/10).
Situated at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in the prestigious Encino Hills, this property offers a serene 'Santa Monica Canyon' lifestyle with excellent Westside access and proximity to Mulholland Drive.
The backyard serves as a private oasis featuring a plunge pool, spa, outdoor kitchen with a BBQ center, and a hillside meditation pergola offering panoramic mountain and valley light views.
The hillside nature of the 10,847 sqft lot means much of the land is sloped, requiring a meandering path to access views and limiting the amount of flat, usable yard space.
While the elementary school is highly rated, the assigned middle school has a significantly lower rating (2/10), which may be a concern for families planning for long-term residency.
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.
