Located in a quiet, central pocket of Encino, this light-filled 5BD/5BA residence offers timeless charm, expansive interiors, and an entertainer's backyard centered around an oversized pool. A circular driveway and private pedestrian gate welcome you into a lush front courtyard adorned with classic Saltillo tile, creating a warm and inviting first impression. Inside, soaring ceilings and hardwood floors enhance the airy living room, where a gas fireplace and elegant windows fill the space with natural light. The adjoining dining area opens directly to the patio through beautiful French doors, creating an effortless indoor-outdoor flow. Just beyond, a sun-drenched bonus room with custom built-in shelving and storage offers an additional gathering space with direct access to the backyard. The thoughtfully designed kitchen is appointed with a Wolf range, Sub-Zero refrigerator, farmhouse sink, quartz countertops, and a charming breakfast nook perfect for casual dining. Down the hall, three generously sized bedrooms feature interior shutters, abundant closet space, and are complemented by two beautifully appointed bathrooms. Overlooking the main level upstairs, an inviting loft provides exceptional flexibility as a library, lounge, or secondary living area, complete with a dramatic built-in bookcase, walls of windows, and a bathroom with a walk-in shower. Privately situated, the primary suite serves as a peaceful retreat with vaulted ceilings, a fireplace, an impressive walk-in closet with a dedicated vanity, and a spacious ensuite bath featuring dual vanities, a soaking tub, glass-enclosed shower, and a sitting area. A separate staircase just off the kitchen leads to an additional upstairs wing, offering a fifth bedroom with an adjoining recording room that can easily be transformed into a sitting room, dressing area, or expanded closet. This versatile level also includes a full bathroom and an additional bonus room, ideal for a home office or creative studio. Designed for year-round enjoyment, the backyard showcases a sprawling stone-edged pool surrounded by mature landscaping and multiple areas for dining, entertaining, and relaxing in complete privacy. Additional highlights include a two-car garage with direct access and a convenient downstairs laundry nook. Set within the coveted Hesby Oaks K-8 School District and just moments from the shopping and dining along Ventura Boulevard, this exceptional home blends privacy, character, and everyday convenience in one of Encino's most desirable settings.
