Extensive High-Quality Renovations: Thoughtfully updated with modern finishes, including a remodeled kitchen with premium stainless steel appliances, a newly added luxury primary bathroom with a Kohler Smart Shower, and custom Milgard windows.
Major Infrastructure Upgrades: Features essential modern updates such as copper plumbing, an updated HVAC system with whole-house air filtration, and a 200-amp electrical panel, ensuring reliability and efficiency.

Unique Outdoor Amenities: Includes a 15-foot 'X500' swim spa for year-round enjoyment and lush, low-maintenance, eco-friendly landscaping with mature fruit trees.

Cons

Absence of a Traditional Swimming Pool: While a swim spa is a unique amenity, many buyers in the Encino market, especially at this price point, often expect a full-sized swimming pool for recreation and entertainment.
Moderate Lot Size: The 6,002 sqft lot, while efficiently utilized and low-maintenance, may be considered modest by buyers seeking a larger, more expansive outdoor living area or significant room for future property expansion.
Specific Architectural Style Appeal: The distinct Mid-Century Modern aesthetic, while a significant strength for enthusiasts, might not appeal to all potential buyers who prefer more contemporary or traditional home styles, potentially limiting the buyer pool.
