Upgrades, lifestyle and location to love at this Spanish-style townhome in Encino! Built in 2006, this 1,514 square foot unit is a tranquil 3 bedroom, 3 bath haven in the city. Boasting quiet elegance behind smooth stucco walls, this gated 23-unit complex with terracotta tiled courtyard is adorned with a decorative fountain and lush landscaping. A sitting patio introduces this special unit: it's an open-air vestibule to the home's substantial front door. Inside, quality and convenience abound: walnut hardwood floors flow throughout the downstairs living area, with high ceilings and recessed lighting in the open plan public space. Chefs and entertainers will appreciate the well-appointed kitchen with granite countertops, stainless-steel appliances and breakfast bar. The adjacent formal dining area and generous living room enjoy the warmth of a gas fireplace and natural light through large, sliding doors leading to the ground floor patio, ideal for unwinding or entertaining. A powder room with a pedestal sink and laundry closet with stacked washer/dryer hookups complete the well-appointed downstairs. Upstairs, privacy and calm are paramount, with newly carpeted bedrooms and ample light through dual-pane windows. The primary suite is a sanctuary with a custom finished walk-in closet, private balcony and spacious bathroom with granite dual sink vanity, soaking tub and separate shower. The second bedroom is a comfortable retreat with a finished closet and access to the balcony, while the third bedroom offers a view of the courtyard. An additional full bath in the hallway features granite counter and recessed lighting and sits close to the upstairs linen storage. With NEST-controlled central heating and air conditioning, underground secured parking with two reserved single spots, ample guest parking, and secured private storage in the garage area, living here is all about ease and lifestyle. Just moments from shopping, dining, the Sepulveda Basin Recreation Area and beloved dog park, farmers market, and convenient freeway and Metro Orange Line access, this is a rare opportunity to enjoy upgraded turn-key living in the heart of Encino.
