About This Home
As of September 2022Known as the Woodley Estate, this is an extraordinary and storied property resides on over half an acre flat lot in the heart of Encino. Built in 1932 for Bobby Connolly, the choreographer of the Wizard of Oz, this iconic estate is considered one of the founding houses in the area. What makes this estate so unique is its rich history of residents, from Hollywood actors and prominent band musicians to astronaut Gordon Cooper, and its connection to a time when life was simpler. This was a home built not for the moment but to stand the test of time, as enduring and classic, as the renowned neighborhood it inhabits. This Adobe-style estate is situated on a flat corner lot behind impressive gates and a stucco wall. Restored to retain its original architectural charm, with arched doorways and alcoves, Saltillo tile flooring, vaulted wood-beamed ceiling, stained glass windows, and so much more, this home is as timeless as it is unique and elegant. The floor plan features numerous French doors opening to outdoor patios in every direction. An expansive artificial grass lawn is framed by garden planting. Mature olives, citrus, and blooming shrubs find both areas of shade and sunshine year-round. An oversized pool sits in between the main house and guest house which was recently renovated and includes 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom a full kitchen, breakfast bar, and spacious living room. A true Encino treasure!
