Fabulous walled & gated estate in the heart of the famed Movie Colony checks all the boxes! Custom built in 1978 and recently enhanced, this formal and sophisticated home is refined and polished yet comfortable & offers a warm alternative to Mid-Century modern, yet still with a distinct contemporary vibe. The large formal living room enjoys soaring ceilings and is adjacent to a formal dining room with mountain views, a sunken wet bar and an incredible screened patio overlooking the lush yard and resort style pool. Offering 4 bedrooms + 4.5 baths, the Master en-suite offers dual walk-in closets and partner's baths. Large kitchen is in pristine condition and adjoins both a media/family room and a morning room. All bedrooms offer floor to ceiling sliders to the outdoors. Seperate laundry/mud room as you enter from the dual car garage. Abundant storage, evident pride of ownership and turnkey furnished per inventory. Successful vacation rental history too! Great primary or 2nd home! Seller will require all current rental bookings be honored.
