Property Description
Welcome to this sensational Mid-Century Modern Ranch Estate, ideally situated on a sprawling 16,466 SQFT flat corner lot, South of Ventura Blvd. in one of Encino's most desired neighborhoods. Once occupied by Frank William “Bill” Gay, a top executive and head of communications for Howard Hughes, and later by well-known singer India Adams (the singing voice of Hollywood legends Joan Crawford and Cyd Charisse, in MGM musicals) and her English interior designer husband Quentin Rance, this enchanting and lavish compound exudes Old Hollywood charm circa 1954, with incredible architectural detailing & nuances throughout the interior and grounds. This entertainer's paradise features 4 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, and 5,603 SQFT of living space with walls of glass looking out to the park-like grounds, cabana, and sparkling pool. The indoor-outdoor flow exudes California living at its finest, and the possibilities are truly endless to fully restore, reconfigure, or completely reimagine! Highlighted by gorgeous wood beamed ceilings, custom detailed moldings, multiple fireplaces, a formal living room, dining room, library/family room with built-ins, an expansive bonus/great room, a chef's kitchen with butler's pantry and breakfast nook. There's also a detached cabana perfectly situated for potential ADU. Conveniently close to shopping, boutiques, entertainment, restaurants, cafes, freeways, Crespi Carmelite Private High School, and everything the West Valley has to offer. Clearly ahead of its time, this classic retreat is a neighborhood treasure.
