Description

This property comes fully furnished and is all set for you to move in right away. It is available for both short-term and long-term rentals. The Lewis-Loughrey Estate, a magnificent property situated on a vast Encino hilltop, was designed by acclaimed architect Donald G. Park AIA and boasts unparalleled modernist and avant-garde architecture. This California Modernism gem, referred to as the "Crown Jewel" of the San Fernando Valley, comprises three expansive 12-sided structures or dodecagons that house a total of 6 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms, seamlessly connected by a glass pavilion spanning nearly 7,000 sq ft of interior space. Originally featuring two dodecagons, Park returned from retirement to add a third, completing his vision with the final 1,200 sq ft apartment. The property's location at the end of a cul-de-sac ensures privacy, while its strategic positioning allows for 200-degree breathtaking views from every room and hallway. The bronze-clad Sunburst front door creates a dramatic entrance into the open floor plan featuring massive windows, soaring wood-paneled ceilings, and walls made of granite excavated from the site. Noteworthy design elements include a floor-to-ceiling fireplace in the sunken conversation pit, perfect for entertaining guests. Large windows and doors lead out from every room, enhancing the indoor/outdoor lifestyle and allowing for natural light and refreshing ocean/mountain breezes to flow throughout the home. The meticulously landscaped yard and gardens offer sweeping panoramic views of the city, and the outdoor amenities, including a pool and spa, create the ideal setting for relaxation and entertainment. The Lewis-Loughrey Estate is a work of art and a testament to the refinement, opulence, and grandeur of mid-century modern architecture, and as such, it is a rare, unique, and awe-inspiring property that deserves admiration and appreciation from all.
