Property is moderate renovation needed.
The property was built in 1974 and, while well-maintained with 'smart updates' like new windows and sliding doors, the kitchen and bathrooms remain dated. The kitchen features older painted cabinetry, a mix of non-stainless appliances, and 15-30 year old tile patterns. The unit is functional and move-in ready but requires cosmetic modernization to meet current market standards.
This penthouse features dramatic 17-foot ceilings and a sculptural spiral staircase leading to a loft, creating an expansive, light-filled living environment that is rare for the area.
The property includes a private rooftop deck offering a 180-degree panoramic view of the Santa Monica and San Gabriel Mountains, providing a premium outdoor sanctuary for entertaining.
The unit has been modernized with all-new windows and sliding doors for improved efficiency, and uniquely includes three dedicated parking spaces, a major asset in Encino.
The HOA fee of $655 per month is relatively high, which may impact the overall affordability and debt-to-income ratio for prospective buyers.
Built in 1974, the complex may require more frequent maintenance or future capital improvements compared to newer developments in the San Fernando Valley.
