About This Home

As of July 2025

Timeless Traditional with Resort-Style Grounds in Royal Oaks, One of Encino's Most Coveted Enclaves! Set on nearly half an acre of exquisitely landscaped grounds, this turnkey estate is a masterful composition of classic elegance and modern sophistication. A gated courtyard leads to a warm and welcoming residence where timeless architecture harmonizes with contemporary luxury. Reimagined and expanded by Plush Homes, every element has been curated with precision and artistry, from hand-selected designer wallpaper, custom lighting and Waterworks fixtures that elevate each space. Upstairs, rich Oak hardwood floors, a marble-clad fireplace, and skylights create an airy, light-filled ambiance full of warmth and distinction, ideal for both intimate gatherings and grand-scale entertaining. The living room flows seamlessly into the formal dining room, where each space is framed by breathtaking city and mountain vistas. The state-of-the-art chef's kitchen is a true centerpiece, with honed marble countertops, a charming breakfast nook that opens to a beautifully landscaped front yard complete with a wraparound porch and custom BBQ pavilion. Downstairs, the private quarters exude luxury, with thoughtfully appointed bedrooms and an expertly engineered, soundproof media lounge designed for cinematic immersion. French doors reveal a vast stone terrace that opens to an extraordinary outdoor haven. This resort-inspired setting is a study in alfresco perfection, showcasing a shimmering pool and spa, manicured lawns, and tiered gardens that unfold like a private botanical retreat. A lower terrace offers a full-size sport court and an enchanting pergola with a marble built-in fireplace, inviting unforgettable evenings under the stars. As twilight falls, ambient lighting, mature trees, and meandering stone pathways transform the grounds into a magical, storybook escape. Positioned within the prestigious Lanai Road Elementary School district and moments from the finest offerings of the Valley, yet serenely tucked within Encino's most esteemed enclave, this is more than a home; it is a timeless sanctuary of beauty, privacy, and grace.
