Welcome to this magnificent manor sited on nearly 3/4 of an acre on one of the most prestigious streets in the Encino foothills, standing elegant and poised, awaiting a buyer who appreciates the finest quality and taste, and eagerly awaits an opportunity to grow an investment requiring only a little TLC. This custom home designed by celebrated architect Jonathan Gathrid, boasts a wealth of extraordinary features. The grand foyer, with centuries-old antique tile flooring imported from France, sets the tone for the refined style and spare-no-expense finishes throughout. The formal living room exudes warmth and sophistication, complemented by an adjacent library overlooking the grounds. The home features thoughtful details at every turn, including hand-planed solid oak flooring and beams, lead windows, and custom built-ins by renowned artisan Julian Melendez.The gourmet kitchen and breakfast area is a true chef’s dream, featuring a spacious center island, top-tier appliances including a Sub-Zero refrigerator and freezer, and a Wolf range with a French Top burner. Adjacent to the kitchen is a large family room, where a cozy fireplace provides warmth and ambiance. Two pantries cater to the home’s needs: a butler’s pantry services the formal dining room, while a separate, oversized pantry offers abundant storage and includes a washer and dryer for added convenience on the main floor, with a larger laundry room located upstairs.The main floor also features a powder room, a dedicated pool bath for guests, and a spacious bedroom suite. Ascend the elegant stairwell with hand forged iron railings to the upper level, to find four additional spacious bedroom suites, including a stunning primary with dual baths and walk-in closets. The remaining bedrooms, while close by, are thoughtfully separated for privacy, ensuring comfort for family and guests alike. The crowning jewel of this home lies just above the bedroom suites: a magnificent great room with a wet bar, a separate screening room, and an additional bedroom suite. Outside, the property offers a gated motor court with ample off-street parking, a three-car garage, and an expansive yard with space aplenty for a tennis court, pool, and guest house. Set on the original grounds of the former Ahmanson family residence and within the prestigious Lanai Road Elementary School boundary, this property offers not only an extraordinary home, but also an investment opportunity in one of Los Angeles' most coveted neighborhoods.
