Inside this Mid-Century House

This stunning Mid-Century home sits in the heart of Encino. Walking in, one can tell so much thought went into the design and construction of the home. Clean, straight lines, everywhere. Open skylights artfully placed here and there. A beautiful, chic hardwood built-in reaching almost to the ceiling, but not quite, between entry foyer and dining room. A "Mad Men" bar tucked into the heavy, art cabs lining one wall of the living room.

The home has been beautifully maintained throughout the years, with all the original solid wood built-in cabinets, floor to ceiling steel glass sliding doors, and layout. There's a shoji screen that separates the dining area from the stepdown living room. The backyard, with pool, entertainment area, and native garden landscaping up a gentle hill is quite breathtakingly peaceful.

I happened to see this home, on White Oak, while touring with my clients one recent sunny Sunday. A real treat. Listed by Crosby Doe Associates and the type of home not to come around again in a long while is my guess.
