About This Home

As of December 2020

Home Sweet Home on Empress! On a quiet street in the Encino Hills, this light-infused single-level home offers comfortable hillside living to the fortunate new owner(s). Wood and tile flooring, smooth ceilings and recessed lighting grace the public areas and interior colors are soothing neutrals throughout. The welcoming double door entry invites you to discover the large living room with stone fireplace and French doors framing lush greenery views. A circular formal dining area is enhanced by a spectacular bay window. And beyond, the stylish updated cook’s kitchen -- w/granite counters, cherrywood soft-close drawers, quality s/s appliances and breakfast bar -- opens to a family room with brick fireplace and French doors that lead to the covered patio and backyard. A spacious primary bedroom suite -- w/walk-in closet, dressing area and French doors -- adds to the amazing appeal. Completing the interior picture are two other large bedrooms flanking the full hall bathroom, powder room, abundant closets and separate laundry/utility room – w/double-pane windows throughout, a direct access 2-car garage and storage room, plus a built-in owned security system. Outside, interlocking pavers form the driveway, front walkway, back patio and gated side play area, while the backyard offers a grassy play area and terraced hillside. Located in the acclaimed Lanai School District and just minutes from Ventura Blvd., this is the place where you want to live!
