GREEN HOME: This home is in the middle of a wonderful neighborhood and the famed Lanai Road school, and yet it is off the grid. It is powered by solar energy, virtually eliminating the ever-increasing electric bills seen monthly with LADWP. It also has a GREEN front and back yard, and when I say "green," I mean it - literally. LADWP offered incentives to homeowners who remodeled their yards to eliminate grass and minimize the use of water, and this one does it perfectly, mixing an artisan landscape with the art of golf. The front yard, once complete with lots of grass and a pitching mound for those little league games at ELL, it is now a beautiful and very cleverly designed 18 hole chip and putt golf course. With endless tee box placements (provided by a moveable chipping mat) and 3 holes situated on a generous green, 18 holes of golf are not only possible but mandatory on a sunny Saturday morning or afternoon with friends and family. Complete with an Augusta National-style sand trap, running creek, small boulders and succulents to chip over and through, the fun is endless. Truly, it is the most unique, fun and aesthetically pleasing yard, (and I use the word "yard" quite loosely), in Encino. And when the golf is done, head to paradise found in the back for a burger and a cold beverage, complete with outdoor grill, television, Jacuzzi, waterfall, ambient lighting and a Bose sound system that makes standing at any point like sitting front row and center at a favorite concert. Set high off the street with a lot of foliage and trees, the setting of this beautiful home is both serene and private. Accenting serenity with a waterfall provides the soothing, take-away sounds to make one believe, with closed eyes and modest imagination, that the vector points being enjoyed are somewhere on an island in the South Pacific, not Encino, California. Both the water conserving and money saving front and the tropically imaged hardscape in back were completed by landscape artisans, Serene Gardens 760-855-5548.
