East Coast tradition meets luxurious California lifestyle. Stunning curb appeal announces a grand arrival at this exceptional property in Encino’s prime Rancho Estates. South of Ventura Blvd, behind the secured imposing gates, a picturesque brick driveway lined with lush landscaping and a stately sycamore tree, leads you up to the recessed front porch of the home, which is set far back from the road. The front yard offers a great area for basketball, and ample room for safe children activities. The backyard, my oh my – the backyard. This is the heartbeat of the home. This backyard is nothing short of magical. On one level, a fire pit and dining area invite intimate gatherings. Just steps above, a huge sparkling pool with shimmering tiles is surrounded by lounges, another fireplace, and a dedicated pool bathroom and outdoor shower. Beyond the pool, an expansive grassy yard bordered by mature trees provides a sense of seclusion and serenity. This flat, usable space is perfect for soccer games, hosting class parties, chasing the dog, or adding a Guest House -that would be the game changer! This is truly a rare and special yard. Inside, soaring high beamed ceilings and a substantial wood-burning fireplace set the tone for the expansive main living area, which seamlessly blends elegance with warmth. The volume gives that unique attribute of a modern design blending with classic traditional architecture-it creates an immediate feeling of being " right at home." Surrounding French doors frame breathtaking views of the backyard, further extending the living space to the outdoors. The formal dining room offers sophistication for entertaining under those voluminous ceiling heights and lovely chandelier, while the cozy family room, with additional French doors, opens to the charming central courtyard. The kitchen also boasts soaring high ceilings. Guests and family gather around a stone island with bar seating, and an every-day dining table that also opens to that courtyard creating a perfect flow for casual meals or lively gatherings. The main level hosts a serene primary suite with dual closets, alongside three secondary bedrooms and a convenient laundry area. A separate en suite guest suite serves as an ideal home theater or additional entertainment space. Upstairs, an additional lounge, bedroom, and full bathroom provide a private haven for a teenager or guest. An exterior staircase leads to a bonus space perfect for a home office or gym, offering flexibility and functionality. The coveted 3-car garage is equipped with tons of storage and an EV charging station. Every detail of this home exudes timeless beauty and thoughtful design, from the architectural nuances reminiscent of Paul Williams to the seamless integration of indoor and outdoor spaces.
