About this property

Set behind a graceful circular drive and framed by lush landscaping, this storybook traditional residence occupies an expansive 23,178-square-foot lot in the coveted Encino Hills. At the heart of the drive, a magnificent Chinese Elm creates a striking first impression, complementing a home that beautifully balances classic character with thoughtful modern updates. Inside, light-filled interiors unfold beneath vaulted, open-beamed ceilings, with hardwood floors and a series of French doors creating an effortless connection to the gardens and pool beyond. The living room centers around a fireplace and opens directly to the oversized backyard, while the formal dining room is distinguished by beautiful and original diamond cross-hatch windows overlooking the front garden. At the heart of the home, a custom remodeled kitchen pairs stainless-steel appliances with a Zia ceramic tile backsplash, a cozy breakfast nook with a custom banquette, and an intimate wine bar. A spacious den, also lined with French doors, opens to the sparkling pool and extends the home's easy indoor-outdoor rhythm. Three generous bedrooms occupy the main level, accompanied by two updated baths. Upstairs, the private primary suite is a serene retreat, defined by vaulted, beamed ceilings, dual walk-in closets and Valley views framed by original diamond cross-hatch windows. An office area with a built-in bookcase completes the primary suite along with a private balcony that overlooks the lush backyard. The tastefully remodeled primary bath features dual sinks, a freestanding tub, and a separate stall shower. Beyond the interiors, the property reveals its full scale and versatility. The expansive grounds encompass a brick patio, large swimmer's pool, broad stretches of lawn, mature landscaping, and a separate structure ideally suited as a studio or home office. A secluded garden area with gazebo adds another layer of charm and creates a series of inviting spaces for entertaining, working, or simply enjoying the landscape. Behind the scenes, contemporary infrastructure has been seamlessly integrated throughout, including automatic Lutron window shades, Lutron smart dimmers and switches, a Ubiquiti network rack and hardwired security cameras, wiring for AT&T Fiber internet, Wallbox EV Car Charger and dual zone HVAC. Timeless in its architecture yet quietly sophisticated in its technology and updates, this Encino Hills residence offers a rare combination of storybook charm, generous scale, and seamless indoor-outdoor living. Thoughtfully designed for both relaxed everyday living and effortless entertaining, the property offers a sense of privacy and tranquility rarely found in the city.
