As of August 2023

Elevated behind gates at the end of a long private driveway lies this exquisite opportunity to build one or two trophy estates on 2 lots totaling over 42,600SF - just shy of an acre. Located South of the Blvd in prime Encino, 4701 Sophia & 4705 Sophia Ave present endless possibilities for customization, renovation, or new construction, with the current structure offering an open floor plan, expansive living spaces, and well-proportioned bedrooms. Floor to ceiling windows showcase vistas of the San Fernando Valley skyline and mountains, while providing an influx of natural light and tranquility. Current grounds offer a large pool, multiple sitting areas and mature trees showcasing the ultimate privacy and seclusion just moments away from the best shopping and restaurants Ventura Blvd has to offer. This rare chance to build a celebrity-worthy compound presents a number of opportunities for a Buyer to renovate or imagine a uniquely private Encino estate potentially valued at $15M+ in one of the Valley's most desirable enclaves.
