In the early 1960s, one of the city's original and most well known contemporary modern furniture dealers discovered a home built by Donald Park, AIA. Today, nearly 50 years later, the residence of Mel Brown hits the market for the first time ever, creating an amazing opportunity for a fortunate buyer to continue the story of this special property. Sited on nearly half an acre of flat land and mature gardens on a prime Lake Encino lot, this well loved 3,400 sq ft classic mid-century modern home features 5 bedrooms, 4 baths, and family room, all with amazing indoor/outdoor views that open up to a spacious garden with oversized pool. Mel Brown himself lovingly designed and built the landscape and created the outdoor spaces encircling the garden home. After entering through a private courtyard, a large living room and dining room with double-high ceilings and wooden beams await. Well-designed period kitchen w/ eat-in area with convenient door into triple car garage. AGENTS SEE PVT REMARKS
