‘La La Land’ House Makes a Big Splash on the Market


‘La La Land’ House Makes a Big Splash on the Market

Compass

Among many other gorgeous musical numbers in 2016’s “La La Land,” there’s a scene where Emma Stone‘s character and her roommates don primary-color party dresses and sing “Someone in the Crowd” as they sashay up to a soiree at a gorgeous home.

The modern mansion serves as a backdrop to an industry party with Champagne flowing and beautiful people cavorting and dancing around a beautiful, blue pool. The scene is punctuated by a dancer taking a flying leap off the balcony into the pool below.

Still don’t remember? This clip will bring you up to speed and is sure to embed the catchy tune in your head.

Now you can stage similar hijinks of your own, because the modern home in Encino, CA, has waltzed onto the market for $6.45 million.

“Over the past few years, the Encino area has gone through a renaissance of contemporary development, and this property is a prime example of that,” says co-listing agent Tomer Fridman of Compass. “The home is truly a resort-style escape with limestone patios, dual roof decks, and a tiered pool and spa.”

Those luxe features have made this place popular with location scouts. If you didn’t spot the home in “La La Land,” you might have caught it on “NCIS: LA,” “Modern Family,” “Ballers,” “House of Food,” or even Olay commercials. It’s also set to make an appearance in Steven Soderbergh‘s next film, “The Laundromat,” starring Meryl Streep and Gary Oldman.

The great room—note the stone wall featured in the “La La Land” video.

So why does this mod mansion attract filmmakers like moths to a flame?

“This home is the ultimate in indoor-outdoor entertainment. The full rooftop decks on the house and over the glass pool house are spectacular features,” says co-listing agent Jeff Biebuyck of Compass.

“The sliding wall doors and soaring ceilings add to the open space concept that’s so popular in homes that we represent,” adds Dana Olmes, also of Compass.

Also a plus for entertaining? The home has a whopping nine bathrooms, so you can have a large crew working (or playing) in the house, with no lines for a potty break.

There are six en suite bedrooms in the 8,504 square feet of living space, which also include the 696-square-foot glass pool house. That pool house features not only a party deck on top of it, but also a glass wall that can vanish to expose a cascading wall of water.

The home is also replete with high-end features, including a home theater and elevator. The spacious kitchen boasts counters of Calacatta gold marble, Viking appliances, and top-of-the-line, stainless-steel fixtures.

There’s a comfy yet cool master suite, with an in-wall fireplace, floor-to-ceiling corner window, private balcony, and humongous walk-in closet. It also has a lavish bathroom, including an infinity tub (you read that right—an infinity tub) and steam shower.

Besides its obvious appeal as a lucrative side hustle, the home’s modern exterior is sure to impress any guest. Just make sure only trained stuntmen attempt the leap from the balcony into the pool.
