Property is move-in ready.
Built in 1990, the property is well-maintained and move-in ready. While the structure is 34 years old, the interior features updated dark wood flooring, recessed lighting, and high-end finishes (marble foyer, custom built-ins) that suggest a significant refresh or renovation within the last 10-15 years, keeping it functional and refined.
Designed by noted architect Gus Duffy, the estate features timeless craftsmanship, including a dramatic two-story marble foyer and refined custom millwork that provides a sense of enduring character.
Situated in one of Encino's most prestigious and established pockets, the property offers gated privacy and excellent proximity to the Westside, major studios, and top-tier amenities.
The home is highly functional for families or guests, offering five en suite bedrooms, including a primary retreat with dual walk-in closets, a sitting area, and a steam shower.
Built in 1990, the traditional 'classic' finishes and rich wood details may require significant capital investment to align with the ultra-modern aesthetic preferences of today's luxury buyers.
While the 17,370 sqft lot is substantial, it is relatively standard for the Amestoy Estates area, where buyers at the $4.5M price point often seek larger half-acre+ parcels.
