15438 Mulholland Dr

One of only three homes on a private street hidden above Mulholland Drive, this designer-done, gated pickleball view estate has been extensively remodeled throughout. Total privacy here is paramount, and the home is not visible from the main road. Inside the incredibly bright and light-filled floor plan, discover floor-to-ceiling paned walls of glass, vaulted ceilings with exposed beams, brushed finishes, and wide-plank oak floors. The living and sitting rooms are centered by elegant French doors to the open-air patio with fire table, lined with privacy hedges and manicured rose bushes. The country kitchen includes a farm sink, ample cabinetry, center island, stone countertops, chevron backsplash, and state-of-the-art appliances including a Viking range with hood. The adjacent formal dining room is perfect for dinner parties and meals with friends and family. Enjoy music, study, or play in the nearby lounge with a variety of uses, including an office, library, yoga, or meditation, and a television room is ideal for streaming and family movie nights. Upstairs, massive picture windows invite natural light into the spacious primary suite, complete with a private balcony overlooking the grounds below. The spa-inspired bath has an oversized rainwater shower, jetted tub, and dual-sink vanity with makeup station, and the walk-in closet is equipped with custom built-ins. Secondary bedrooms and bathrooms are light-filled and feature high-end finishes and conveniences such as a bay window with reading nook. Outside, play pickleball or basketball, lounge on the sun deck, barbecue and dine al-fresco, or relax in the pool and spa with soothing waterfall features. There is also a viewing area for admiring striking panoramas of lush treetops, hills, Catalina Island, the Pacific Ocean, and mountains, while terraced gardens allow organic vegetables to thrive. A separate entrance for guests contributes to discretion and privacy. Stephen Wise schools and Roscomare Road Elementary are close by, and the home's proximity to the Sepulveda Pass and the 405 Freeway means both the Westside and the Valley are just moments away. For added security, there are plans to install a gate at the Mulholland level, restricting access to residents only. There is also 21kW solar and battery for energy efficiency. Owner will entertain offers to purchase.
