About this property
There are homes you simply decorate - and others that invite you to create something entirely your own. This spacious penthouse at Encino Park West is one of those rare opportunities. Enter into soaring two-story ceilings, walls of windows, and an abundance of natural light. The expansive living and dining spaces have wonderful scale, while a private balcony overlooking the pool extends the living space outdoors. The generously sized kitchen offers an eat-in area, extensive pantry storage and in-unit laundry - with the space and potential to create a kitchen designed around the way you live. And then there's the primary suite. Three walk-in closets. A separate dressing area. Additional linen storage. And an oversized primary bath with a separate tub and shower and dual vanity - ready to be transformed into the luxurious, spa-inspired retreat you've imagined. A versatile second bedroom with its own walk-in closet can serve beautifully as a guest suite, home office - or both - with a second full bath nearby. Beyond the residence, Encino Park West offers the ease of a full-service lifestyle with 24-hour front desk coverage and controlled access, additional exterior security monitoring, pool and spa, recreation room/library with kitchen, fitness center and dry sauna, and controlled-access parking with direct elevator service to the penthouse floor. The location is hard to beat. Encino Park is directly across the street, offering tennis courts, green lawns, picnic areas and a playground, while the shops, restaurants, cafes and salons of Ventura Boulevard are just moments away. The HOA dues include Spectrum cable and internet, sewer, trash, hot and cold water, building insurance, earthquake insurance and grounds/pool/elevator maintenance. The space is here. The light is here. The location is here...Now bring your vision.

Assumes equal monthly payments on a fully amortizing fixed-rate loan; no adjustable rates, interest-only periods or balloon payments. Excludes closing costs, utilities, maintenance, special assessments and other unentered costs. Actual payments and escrow can differ. Review a Loan Estimate with your lender.
