Experience breathtaking views, privacy, and tranquility in this beautifully refreshed modern Spanish home nestled above a prime cul-de-sac in the coveted Clark Gable Ranch Estates of Encino. Enter through a private gate and meander up the scenic driveway to discover a serene retreat consisting of 5 spacious bedrooms and 6 bathrooms in a comfortable setting of 4,610 square feet of living space on almost half an acre of land. Glass-paned double doors reveal a stunning light-filled great room with an oversized fireplace, open-concept living and dining areas, and an expansive wall of French doors viewing out to a newly tiled black bottom pool, all under the warm, stunning architecture of a vaulted wood ceiling. The kitchen is cozy and offers an additional sitting area with a Spanish tile motif fireplace, casual dining at the center island, a breakfast nook, an abundance of cabinetry, dual walk-in pantries, and French doors to the pool area. Find repose in a sumptuous primary suite with a fireplace, oversized French windows inviting sunrise through the trees, soaring wood ceilings, separate dressing areas, and a primary suite style library/study entry with built-in shelves and credenza. The primary spa-like bathroom offers dual-sided amenities that meet in the middle at a sunken oversized shower. Additionally, an en-suite bedroom and two additional guest bathrooms are on the main level of this home. The upper level consists of an additional spacious bedroom with a walk-in closet and a huge junior suite with vaulted ceilings and a balcony viewing over the pool and colorful hillside landscape. The lower level enters from either the kitchen or 3-car garage below and is a highly versatile space that encompasses the laundry area, wine storage closet, large guest room with high ceilings, 3/4 bathroom, and a craft room. This entire level has endless potential and could serve as a studio, guest quarters, or hobby area. Spend the summer swimming in the refreshing pool or melt into the zen of a verdant natural setting surrounding the open-air observation deck that calls for peaceful mornings of meditation or yoga as well as evenings entertaining with cocktails under the stars. A little further up the path, arrive at a full-size lit tennis court with explosive mountain and valley views. Through the other side of the court, discover a secret paradise: a private park-like grassy play lawn spanning over 5,000 sq.ft. complete with a soccer net. Enjoy year-round field games, movie nights, and birthday celebrations in this special play area. The desirable south of the boulevard location offers convenient access to Lanai Charter Elementary, the Westside, gourmet markets, and trendy restaurants throughout the San Fernando Valley. This unique property intertwines the character and warmth of modern Spanish elements with space and comfort for any living arrangement.
