Your own promontory! Inhale, let it out slowly, take a deep breath, you're home. You will feel immediate relief as the gates begin to close, leaving the outside world behind. As you wind up the gentle curves of the driveway you will gaze at the blooming array of trees and foliage. Olive, eucalyptus and citrus line the private drive to your front door. Atop the property resides a single-level modern dwelling shrouded in privacy. As you enter wood accents and concrete floors welcome you into the home. Before you take a tour of this elegantly remodeled home you catch a glimpse of the sweeping views of the San Fernando Valley. You can't help but gasp and say "WOW" that's incredible - as you make your way to a view you have never experienced before."Magical", "stunning", "jaw dropping" - are all words I have heard uttered. Sweeping 180 degree views are simply breathtaking. The city below, the mountains, the planes in the distance, you can see it all, yet it's a world away. Back in the house - floor to ceiling glass windows and aluminum-clad doors frame the open interior spaces allowing the natural surroundings and sunlight into every room. Step-down into a large family room perfect for lounging and enjoy the adjoining outdoor patio with a jasmine covered trellis. The spacious living room with a stone-clad fireplace flowing into the dining area offers an ambience of comfort and the best for entertaining, all while taking in the epic views. The chefs kitchen is spacious and laid out for optimal cooking, complete with a Viking 6-burner dual oven range, Sub-zero refrigerator, warming drawer and pizza oven. You will enjoy the built-in banquette seating area, walls of custom cabinetry and a walk-in pantry. The views while cooking are insane! Slide open the windows and pass the pizza to your outdoor guests! On one side of the house you have the primary suite - graciously sized and a private retreat. Peaceful and calm with views to the outdoor greenery. The primary bath offers a 2-person shower, dual sinks, custom cabinetry and a giant soaking tub with a massive picture window and views to the garden. On the other side of the house you have 3 bedrooms each enjoying its own special view of the outdoors and one full shared bath.The outdoor spaces are magical. The vast grassy lawn encircles the house and is surrounded by an array of greenery. Tall palm trees, mature olive trees and an orchard of fruit trees inc. lemon, grapefruit, apple and avocado. The sparkling & heated swimming pool sitting atop the property creates a resort-like atmosphere. Lounge chairs, a fire pit, umbrellas and outdoor searing embellish your relaxation. An outdoor kitchen with BBQ, sink, fridge, counter space and storage is a great spot for summer dinners. Topping it off is an outdoor shower (where no one can see you!). A "doll house" preciously sitting by itself in the grass, covered in flowering vines, is a welcome abode for the kids to hideaway or for the adults to play. With electricity, windows and finished flooring you will find many uses for this adorable structure. 3-car garage with EV charger and laundry offers a plethora of space for parking and storage. There is a mid-level parking area for gardeners and visitors hence you have ample parking on site. Homes on this stretch of Amanda Drive don't often change hands. A rare opportunity awaits.
