Mid-Century Modern opportunity in Encino Hills. Tucked away on a private cul-de-sac in the Escalon Drive Historic District on a sweeping corner lot, this 2 story Mid Century Modern is one of the 78 homes designed by the noted architect Dan Saxon Palmer AIA and built by Harlan Lee-Byron Lasky in 1966. The homes were presented as a more luxurious version of the Valley track home, designed with both “high style” and “minimum maintenance,” to appeal to “young, sophisticated” families. They have stood the test of time. Anchored by a u-shaped floating staircase and with vaulted ceilings in many rooms, the well-loved home offers comfortable living in an inviting aesthetic. Common rooms include a spacious living room with fireplace, dining room with French doors that lead to back yard, an open concept kitchen with a Viking range, an adjacent family room, and a lovely guest bath with stainless vessel basin. The 2nd floor has 3 bedrooms which includes a light and bright master suite w/a updated modern bath with a walk-in closet. The 12,000+ sq ft property includes relaxing rear grounds with a patio, BBQ & turf covered play areas. The Encino Hills location offers so much for today’s homeowners! Amazing schools (Lanai Road Elementary), hiking trails just up the street and easy access to both Ventura Blvd’s restaurants, shopping and services or Westside areas of Bel Air, Brentwood, and Santa Monica. The location is one of the reasons Encino Hills is at the top of the list for home buyers. The home’s location, location, location, and rich Mid-Century design, history, and style makes this is a true opportunity for those looking for that special canvas to make their personal statement.
