The elevated gated approach creates immediate separation from the street and gives the home a private hillside presence that is hard to replicate in this coveted pocket of Encino. Inside, this 4 bedroom, 3 bath home offers 2,564 SF of flexible living space with a large formal living room, dining area, separate family room, wood floors, central HVAC, and a remodeled kitchen updated in 2024 with quartz countertops, an updated island, newer flooring, electric cooktop, microwave, kitchen pantry, generous storage, and a paneled Sub-Zero refrigerator. Three bedrooms are located downstairs, including one with French doors opening to the side patio as well as the family room to the yard, creating an easy connection to the home's private outdoor spaces. Upstairs, a private suite captures treetop and city light views and includes a large walk in closet with custom organizers, making it ideal as a primary suite, office, media room, or quiet retreat. Outdoor living is centered around a private, low maintenance hillside setting, with a gated front garden, grassy area, and side patio with trellis designed for dining, relaxing, and entertaining. Additional features include a 2-car garage, rare hillside parking, updated electrical panel, dual water heaters, double-pane windows throughout most of the home, and gated entry. With well maintained baths and select interiors ready for personal touches, this is a rare chance to secure gated privacy, flexible space, storage, Lanai Road Elementary School access, and close proximity to Ventura Boulevard dining, shopping, parks, and commuter routes in one of Encino's most sought-after hillside pockets.
