17153 Adlon Rd Encino, CA 91436

Wake up every morning to pickleball in your own resort-like yard with private court! This ultra-private, recently reimagined Santa Barbara-style contemporary Spanish is located at the quiet pinnacle of Adlon Rd, backing to the Encino Reservoir property so you have no rear neighbor. Surrounded by many newer construction estates, this flat part of Adlon Road is truly a premium location and is within the highly coveted Lanai Charter Elementary district and minutes from Mulholland Dr. This stately home is set back from the street on an easily gated, lushly landscaped nearly 1/2 acre lot. The formal entry opens to a home accented with wide-plank French white oak-style flooring leading to a grand great room with vaulted wood-beamed ceilings & dual sets of solid pane French doors opening to a tranquil front patio courtyard. The elegant great room opens to a family/media room with a full wet-bar and wine cooler & opens to the pergola-shaded outdoor living/dining area overlooking the tranquil rear grounds with fenced pool/spa, grassy play area, and the private world-class pickleball court. A newly designed chef's social kitchen has a 6-burner Wolf range/oven, dual dishwashers & a 5 seat quartz center island breakfast/dining bar. There is a main-level guest suite with a bath that services the pool/spa and recreation areas. Upstairs is a light-filled 4-bedroom wing with 4 individual suites, each with variations of pastoral views including treetop, mountain, & valley light views. The primary suite is something normally found in a home double this size. The luxury suite boasts a fireplace, dual banks of French doors to a viewing deck, a spa-style bath with a dual rain shower, elliptical soaking tub & a rear-facing deck overlooking the resort-style grounds. The final and integral highlight of this home is the movie star-sized walk-in closet with custom built-ins, beverage cooler & a window with a view. Seldom do you find a closet large enough to host small parties! This custom home feels worlds apart from the ordinary and redefines luxury living at this price point while providing a welcome respite from the monotony of the ever-present "Modern Farmhouse" or "Transitional contemporary" homes. This is truly a unique estate you will be proud to call Home.
