Introducing The Eden. This extraordinary, one-of-a-kind estate where refined elegance, artistic vision, and complete privacy converge in the heart of Encino's coveted Royal Oaks. Privately gated and set well back from the street, this rare 2.6+ acre sanctuary unfolds as a lush botanical retreat, surrounded by mature trees and impeccably curated gardens that create a serene, resort-like atmosphere. The residence is a masterful fusion of contemporary design and bespoke character, highlighted by striking custom Mondrian-inspired windows that bathe the interiors in natural light while framing sweeping views of the verdant, park-like grounds.
