Sited on nearly an acre of gated, private grounds south of Ventura Boulevard in the hills of Encino, this Spanish Villa with architectural character spans approximately 8,000 square feet and presents a rare offering of scale, privacy, and elevated living. Upon arrival, a grand motor court, mature landscaping, and an automatic gated entry set the tone, offering a sense of seclusion and prestige. Inside, the home makes a statement with a soaring two-story foyer and center staircase, setting the stage for generously scaled formal and informal living spaces defined by rich materials, high ceilings, and an effortless flow throughout. Richly detailed throughout, the home features stone and hardwood floors, Venetian plaster walls, and custom wood-framed doors and windows that frame breathtaking panoramic city light and mountain views from nearly every room. A sprawling gourmet kitchen offers an oversized contrasting island, pendant lighting, custom cream cabinetry, and premium appliances, with a breakfast area that flows naturally into the heart of the home. The family room offers some of the most dramatic views in Encino, with a large picture window framing the City and Mountains, and French doors leading to a covered loggia with wood-beam ceiling, stone columns, and expansive outdoor living and dining areas. The private backyard is an estate unto itself, with a grotto pool and waterfall, spa, outdoor kitchen, fire pit, fireplace, expansive lawns, and a sport court, all enveloped by mature trees and lush landscaping that create a true sense of seclusion. Upstairs, the primary suite serves as a private retreat, complete with a sitting room, fireplace, private patio, custom walk-in closets, and a spa-style bathroom, all framed by sweeping views of the city lights and valley below. A separate approximately 1,000 square foot guest house with its own entrance, and full bath offers excellent flexibility for guests, extended family, or a private workspace. Car enthusiasts and entertainers alike will appreciate the parking, including an oversized 3-car garage and a motor court accommodating up to 10 vehicles. Perfectly positioned south of Ventura Boulevard, the estate is moments from the shops and restaurants of Ventura Boulevard, served by top-rated schools, with convenient access to the Westside, Sherman Oaks, and the 101 and 405 freeways. This is a rare opportunity to own one of Encino's most exceptional private estates.
