Stepping Inside The Great Room
Stepping through the front door, Josh Duhamel’s Encino home opens to a bright, free-flowing great room where the living room, dining area, and media lounge are all connected beneath vaulted ceilings.
Living Room
Off to the left, the living room centers around a sleek fireplace of textured stone and glass, creating a natural focal point for the space.
Curved seating, light wood floors, and minimalist furnishings give this side of the great room a relaxed feel, while walls of glass open to the pool and outdoor terrace.
Dining Area
Positioned on the right side of the great room, the dining area offers an open setting for entertaining with space for a large table.
Media Lounge
Just off the main living and dining area, a more intimate media lounge features a wall of built-in cabinetry placed across from a wraparound leather banquette couch.
Chef’s Kitchen
The great room then flows right into the chef’s kitchen, where a large Caesarstone island provides space for meal prep and casual seating at the extended bartop
Glossy custom cabinetry lines the perimeter, paired with open shelving and a backsplash lined with the same textured stone tile seen in the living room.
A full suite of Thermador appliances, including built-in ovens, a gas cooktop, oversized refrigerator, and additional prep sink, completes the space.
Primary Suite
Down the hall, the primary suite was completely renovated in 2023, transforming it into a bright, contemporary private space with direct access to the backyard.
Bedroom
Inside, the bedroom features a warm, minimalist design centered around a wood-paneled accent wall and wide-plank flooring.
Expansive sliding glass doors open directly onto the pool terrace, filling the room with natural light.
The generous layout also provides space for a sitting area while maintaining clean sightlines to the rest of the suite’s amenities.
Dual Closets
Two custom walk-in closets provide abundant storage with floor-to-ceiling shelving, integrated drawers, and LED-lit cabinetry.
One closet includes open display shelving, while the second is arranged around a built-in vanity beneath a large window, creating a practical dressing area with plenty of natural light.
En-Suite Bathroom
The en-suite bathroom completes the suite’s modern aesthetic with a freestanding soaking tub positioned beside large windows.
Next to it, a spacious walk-in shower is finished in dramatic gray stone, while a dual-sink vanity with stone countertops, backlit mirrors, and custom cabinetry sits across the room.
Additional Suites
A couple of the additional bedroom suites continue the home’s contemporary design, with each offering its own private space for guests.
Garden View Suite
Overlooking the landscaped greenery at the front of the house, this bedroom features a large picture window that fills the room with daylight.
A tufted upholstered bed is paired with simple wood nightstands and neutral furnishings, creating a calm, comfortable bedroom.
Its connected bathroom includes a marble-topped double vanity, a combination soaking tub and shower, and a skylight that brightens the space throughout the day.
Soft Contemporary Suite
The second guest suite has a more enclosed design with floor-to-ceiling sheer drapery stretching along one wall and a low-profile upholstered bed framed by matching bedside tables.
This suite’s bathroom is similar to the last with a floating marble vanity, glass-enclosed shower, and overhead skylight, providing a bright and functional space for guests.
Backyard
Outside, the backyard extends the home’s indoor living spaces with a series of comfortable entertaining areas, centered around the pool and framed by sweeping hillside views.
Outdoor Deck
Just outside the great room, a spacious composite deck serves as the home’s primary outdoor gathering space.
On one side of the deck is a wood pergola that covers a large dining table for outdoor meals, while a separate fire pit lounge with cushioned seating provides a relaxed spot to enjoy the surrounding views on the opposite end.
Built-In BBQ Station
Positioned just off the main deck is a built-in outdoor kitchen featuring a stainless steel grill set into a concrete surround.
Pool & Spa
The centerpiece of the backyard is a rectangular swimming pool paired with an elevated spa that spills over into the water below.
Wide stone coping and surrounding lounge areas offer plenty of space for sunbathing, while the lawn and privacy hedges create a clean backdrop without obstructing the distant hillside views.
Cedar Barrel Sauna
Lastly, tucked around the corner of the home, a cedar barrel sauna adds a private wellness feature to the backyard surrounded by lush greenery.
Why is Duhamel Selling?
While the Encino residence has served as Josh Duhamel’s Los Angeles home base for eight years, he has recently spent increasing amounts of time at his off-grid Minnesota cabin.
The cabin is a secluded property he has owned for nearly two decades that offers the privacy, quiet, and self-sufficient lifestyle he has long preferred over the pace of Los Angeles.
With his Encino home now on the market, it seems he is taking a step toward making the cabin his family’s full-time residence, while allowing a potential buyer to enjoy a thoughtfully designed contemporary home with sweeping city and mountain views.
