Nestled behind tall privacy hedges on one of Encino's most desirable streets, 4476 Libbit Avenue unfolds with gracious proportions and refined design. A distinctly East Coast-inspired aesthetic pairs crisp white millwork with wide-plank oak floors, sculptural fixtures, and natural light at every turn. Beyond the gated entry, discover an impressive main residence -- built as new construction in 2017 -- boasting nearly 5,500-square-feet, along with a detached guest house that together provide approximately 5,840-square-feet of thoughtfully designed living space. A dramatic double-height foyer welcomes with a view straight through the home, flanked by a stunning formal living room with fireplace and a serene dining room. The kitchen is a study in craftsmanship, showcasing softly veined countertops with matching stone backsplash, custom cabinetry, premium hardware, expansive seated island, and chef-caliber appliances from Wolf and Sub-Zero. A butler's pantry and adjacent mudroom lend practical utility, while a breakfast nook and spacious family room extend naturally to the backyard. On the first floor, additional luxuries include a wine cellar, a well-appointed screening room, and two en-suite bedrooms ideal for guests or office space. Upstairs, the volume of the double-height entry gives way to a lofted landing with storage and a primary suite that feels like its own wing -- private, airy, and bathed in light. Here, French doors open to a breezy balcony with far-reaching palm tree-lined views, while a fireplace adds warmth and atmosphere. Dual closets provide generous storage with custom organization. In the ensuite, stone-topped dual vanities with a beauty station, a steam shower, and a deep soaking tub provide a tranquil space designed for both ritual and retreat. Three additional bedroom suites, a laundry room, and a versatile den complete the upper level. The backyard offers resort-style amenities and a sense of quiet escape, where a sprawling lawn and mature privacy hedging surround a sunlit pool and spa. An expansive covered patio with an outdoor fireplace creates a shaded retreat for alfresco dining and relaxing, while a separate firepit lounge and built-in barbecue invites effortless hosting. A detached guest house with its own powder room and living space serves as a versatile extension of the home -- well-suited for extended stays, creative work, or quiet sanctuary. Other notable features include surround sound throughout, Control4 home automation, smart lighting, alarm system with security cameras, fire sprinklers, and an oversized 2-car attached garage (462 sq.ft.) set behind automatic driveway and pedestrian gates. Supremely located on a quiet street south of Ventura Boulevard -- within the highly sought-after Lanai Road Elementary School boundaries and just minutes from popular boutiques, restaurants, and daily essentials -- this home delivers a layered architectural experience that feels both composed and comfortable. Designed with intention and flow, it offers room to entertain, unwind, and settle into a slower rhythm -- indoors and out.
