This two-story, 4 bedrooms (plus den), 3 bath Southern Colonial home on a large, flat lot with a pool, spa, and sport court is truly a rare find in the coveted Encino hills, offering unparalleled privacy and breathtaking, panoramic views of the surrounding hills and San Fernando Valley.
The stately facade exudes timeless sophistication, with classic architectural details. Step inside and be captivated by the high-ceilinged foyer with elegant chandelier and classic stairway with carved handrails and balustrades. To the left, a dining room with a crystal chandelier, hardwood floors and lots of natural light. To the right, a large living room with hardwood floors, crown moldings, recessed lighting, and a warm, charming fireplace that captures the historical essence of the home. A breakfast area/bonus room sits off the kitchen, overlooking the spacious patio and grounds, as does the paneled den/with wet bar. One bedroom/office and one bathroom sit off the kitchen as does access to the attached, 2-car garage with laundry and additional, overhead storage area. Upstairs, there are 3 bedrooms, all with patios and grand views. The large primary suite has two closets, dual vanities, and an oversized shower in the bathroom. The two secondary bedrooms are spacious as well and share a second bathroom. A large viewing deck offers expansive valley and mountain vistas. Outside, mature trees and foliage frame the property. The yard is an entertainer’s paradise; with a large brick patio, heated pebble-tech pool, spa, and sport court; designed as the perfect place to relax, entertain, and enjoy the Southern California lifestyle. Set in the highly coveted Lanai Road school district; a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of city life, yet conveniently located close to shopping, dining, and entertainment options, and offers easy access to the West Side, BH, and DTLA.
Bursting with potential, Empress is a perfect candidate for a mild renovation/remodel, or a complete rebuild. Or enjoy Empress, just as she is.
Southern Charm in the hills of Encino!
