16723 La Maida St, Encino, CA 91436

A striking expression of contemporary architecture, this newly constructed residence spans over 4,700 square feet, distinguished by its graceful scale and considered balance of proportion, light, and material. Warm wood tones meet elegant arches and custom millwork throughout, while beautifully drawn architectural lines guide the eye from one space to the next. A sculptural spiral staircase rises through the center of the home, creating a natural connection between the two levels. From the main entry, the home unfolds into a series of thoughtfully connected living spaces. The formal dining room and private office transition naturally into the kitchen, thoughtfully positioned at the center of the main level. Taj Mahal stone countertops, Thermador stainless steel appliances, an expansive island, and a beautifully appointed butler's pantrycreate a sophisticated setting for both daily living and entertaining. The kitchen opens directly to the formal living room, where a fireplace, custom bar with tailored built-in cabinetry add warmth and depth to the space. From the living room, sliding doors fully retract, extending the interiors to the backyard, where a pool and spa are complemented by an outdoor kitchen, covered patio, and beautifully appointed spaces for dining and entertaining. A separate backyard ADU offers additional flexibility, with its own living room, kitchenette, bedroom, and bathroom. Upstairs, a sunlit hallway with balcony access connects four ensuite bedrooms. At the end of the hall, the primary suite offers a more intimate setting with a fireplace, treetop views, and a private balcony. A spacious walk-in closet and spa-inspired bath, featuring dual vanities, a soaking tub, and an oversized rain shower, come together to create a refined retreat. Further defining the property, Control4 smart home technology and integrated audio are thoughtfully integrated throughout. Additional features include a main-level guest suite, dedicated laundry room, and two-car garage, adding to the ease of everyday living. Ideally located near the area's popular shops, cafes, and dining destinations, the home brings together considered architecture and modern-day living.
