Welcome to 'Casa de Encinas', a masterfully reimagined estate that epitomizes timeless elegance and modern luxury in the coveted La Canada Flintridge. Nestled on over 3/4 of an acre of flat, gated land, this 5,515 sq. ft. home (including guest house), Italian Period Revival masterpiece--originally crafted in 1941 by renowned AIA architect Horatio W. Bishop-offers an unparalleled blend of architectural heritage, contemporary sophistication, and serene privacy. Enveloped by a canopy of oak trees, the estate welcomes you with manicured gardens, a pillared iron gate, and a flagstone path that winds past a tranquil fountain to the grand covered entry. The home's striking facade and commanding presence set the tone for the exquisite details within. A seamless marriage of original craftsmanship and modern updates. Hardwood floors lead from the vaulted foyer, where a spiral staircase with oak treads ascends gracefully beneath an original stained-glass window and chandelier. The formal living room with a stately fireplace, soaring ceilings, and French doors framing enchanting garden views. The formal dining room flows effortlessly into the chef's kitchen-A dream space featuring custom cabinetry, grand center island, stone countertops, top-tier appliances, and large pantry. A breakfast bar connects to the cozy yet spacious family room, with a second fireplace, dining nook, and seamless access to the outdoor patio. For work or leisure, the main level offers a light-filled office/library or bedroom, with built-ins and guest bath access, as well as a state-of-the-art private theater, equipped with surround sound and projection. The second-floor hosts three guest bedrooms in addition to a stunning primary suite. The spa-like primary bath boasts a double vanity, soaking tub, oversized shower, and private water closet. Two sets of French doors open to a covered, large balcony overlooking the lush grounds. Two guest rooms share a bath between, the third serviced by a guest bathroom in the hall. Meticulously landscaped grounds evoke the serenity of nearby Descanso Gardens, including multiple sitting patios and a 165-square-foot floral studio with temperature control. Tiled patios invite al fresco dining, and expansive lawn offers endless possibilities. Detached three-car garage, a workshop and a storage room. Above it, a private 624-square-foot guesthouse with a kitchenette, living area, bedroom, and 3/4 bath. A Rare opportunity for a discerning buyer.
