Designed by James W. Larson, AIA, in 1957, this classic mid-century architectural retreat is situated in the hills of Encino on over a half-acre of nature and privacy. This exemplary residence delivers all of the characteristics of the mid-century style: flat planes, sweeping windows, integration with nature, elegance, and flow. Greeted by a verdant front courtyard, one proceeds through the grand double door entry into a refined living environment, complete with hand-polished cement floors, hardwood finishes, stonework fireplace, Fleetwood doors, and large expanses of floor-to-ceiling and clerestory windows. Step into the spacious kitchen which delivers an abundance of wood cabinetry, natural light, and current finishes including quartz counter space and Miele and Wolf stainless steel appliances. The rear yard is the perfect venue for al fresco dining and entertainment with its lushly landscaped grounds and lawn, a sexy saltwater pool, sundecks, covered patio, and a hillside meditation and yoga shelter. This remarkable home is the perfect combination of art, design, entertainment, and lifestyle.
