New to the Los Angeles market is a spacious midcentury that just underwent a major renovation. Nestled on a quiet cul-de-sac street in Encino, the 1960 home sets the bar high for indoor-outdoor living, exuding a breezy open feel across its 4,085-square-foot layout.

After a top-down renovation, the revamped midcentury at 4311 Noeline Avenue blends together a glass, wood, and stone facade. A gently sloping roof line defines much of the interior.

A pivoting front door opens into the center of the home, where an expansive great room is defined by a pitched ceiling and wall of glass. Sliding doors seamlessly connect multiple living spaces with a large backyard pool while clerestory windows and skylights flood the interior with natural light. Nine-inch hardwood floors connect the living and dining areas with an all-new, Calcutta marble kitchen.

Inside, a large fireplace anchors the living room, contrasting Calcutta marble with oak slats on either side. Sliding glass doors open onto the covered patio.
