For the visionary buyer, whether developer, renovator, or design-driven end user, this represents a strategic acquisition with meaningful upside. A rare chance to modernize, refine, and create long-term value in one of Encino's most consistently desirable view neighborhoods.Situated on nearly half an acre in one of Encino's most regarded hillside enclaves, this expansive six-bedroom estate presents a rare opportunity to reimagine and elevate a property of exceptional scale, presence, and view orientation, surrounded by significantly elevated home values. With strong architectural presence, estate-sized proportions, and a unique dual-wing second-floor layout, the foundation to build upon is already in place. Generous entertaining spaces and a flexible floor plan provide the ideal canvas for a thoughtful modernization.The main level unfolds with a dramatic foyer, a sunlit living room with wet bar, formal dining room, and an executive den framing canyon and mountain views. The spacious chef's kitchen features dual workstations, multiple ovens, two dishwashers, and an expansive center island, designed to accommodate large-scale entertaining and refined everyday living alike. Upstairs, the dual-wing layout allows for creative reconfiguration, whether for an expansive primary suite, multigenerational living, or private guest quarters. The existing primary retreat, with vaulted ceilings, fireplace, balcony access, and spa-style bath, offers ideal dimensions for a sophisticated redesign. Additional amenities include en-suite bedrooms, a media room, and a gym with sauna.Outdoors, the grounds reinforce the estate setting: a resort-style pool and spa, sport court, multiple terraces, built-in barbecue, and mature landscaping create both privacy and presence. Beyond the sport court lies additional usable land, offering potential for expanded amenities, guest house possibilities, or further estate enhancements (buyer to verify).In a hillside neighborhood where newly modernized homes command premium pricing, properties of this size, lot depth, and view exposure are increasingly difficult to replicate.
