Nestled within the highly coveted Royal Oaks neighborhood of Encino and situated on one of the most beautiful streets in the area, lies a captivating single-story traditional estate, securely gated for privacy. Surrounded by multimillion-dollar residences, this distinguished property boasts a main house spanning approximately 3,840 square feet. Additionally, a separate two-story structure offers a large room on the lower level (formerly a garage), totaling 206 square feet while the upper level houses a 400 square foot guest house, bringing the combined square footage to 4,446. A meandering brick driveway winds through lush landscaping with vibrant flowers, leading to the impeccably positioned home at the apex. Majestic trees stand tall, their verdant canopy providing shade and shelter to the lush landscape. Inside, the main entertaining areas feature hardwood flooring, with the living room showcasing a fireplace and pitched beamed ceilings. Adjacent is a formal dining room with its own fireplace, while a step-down family room offers a wall of built-in shelves and cabinets. The chef's kitchen boasts granite countertops, Viking and SubZero appliances, a garden window, and a charming breakfast area. The primary suite is a haven of luxury, featuring a fireplace, sizable customized walk-in closet, an office, and a lavish bathroom with a spa tub and steam shower. Another en-suite bedroom and a study/exercise room are conveniently located nearby. In a separate wing off the kitchen, an additional en-suite bedroom and an office (which can easily convert to a fourth bedroom) provide versatility. Completing the main residence are a powder room, spacious utility room, and separate laundry room. The meticulously manicured grounds showcase mature oak, jacaranda, and citrus trees, enveloping a fenced pool and spa. Several patio areas offer ideal settings for al-fresco dining, while stairs lead to an elevated portion of the lot, creating a serene private retreat. Whether enjoying a leisurely stroll through the gardens or simply basking in the peaceful ambiance, this property offers a sanctuary for the senses—a place where the beauty of flowers and trees converge to create an unforgettable experience. Just a quick drive grants you easy accessibility to the vibrant Westside, while Ventura Boulevard, boasting an array of shopping and trendy restaurants, lies mere moments from your home.
