Description
Located in one of Encino's most desirable pockets, this private gated retreat has been cherished by the same family for over 50 years. Set on a quiet cul-de-sac in the coveted Lanai Road Elementary School district, this residence offers privacy with mature trees that wrap the property in seclusion, yet is close to everything Encino has to offer. Step inside to sun-filled interiors built for real everyday living. The layout moves effortlessly between spaces, whether you're starting the day with coffee in the backyard, taking calls from the home office, or gathering friends for a dinner party. At the heart of it all is a chef's kitchen outfitted with Viking appliances, a double oven, and a center island that naturally pulls everyone in. The primary suite is a true escape, with an oversized pass-through closet and a spa caliber bathroom featuring heated floors, a jacuzzi tub, and a steam shower. The secondary bedrooms are generously sized, all en suite, and adapt easily to family, guests, or a growing household's needs. Throughout the home, oversized windows blur the line between indoors and out. The backyard delivers resort style living with a sparkling pool and spa, a sprawling brick patio with room for multiple lounge and dining areas, and a waterfall that sets a serene tone all its own. The detached bonus structure in the backyard was previously used as a home gym and has its own bathroom, shower, and dry sauna. The footprint offers real flexibility, whether you envision a studio, guest suite, gym or future ADU. Additional features include whole home surround sound system, dual-zone HVAC, direct elevator access from the carport, dedicated laundry room with utility sink, and gated parking for four cars. A rare offering in one of Encino's most desirable pockets that is timeless, versatile, and ready for its next chapter.
