Property Description
Set behind gates on nearly one acre in the Encino Hills, this Spanish Revival estate has a history no new build can replicate. Originally conceived as a convent in 1928, the home was meticulously restored in 2017 and now blends Old California character with a refined modern sensibility. Under the direction of its architect-owner, every detail honors the property's craftsmanship and period features, from restored steel casement windows and artisan-recreated iron finials to hand-painted tile in the kitchen and baths. As you enter the tree-framed motor court, the outside world falls away, and a sense of calm takes over. The architecture invites wonder and discovery, revealing new layers of texture, handcrafted materials, and subtle detail with every visit. A dramatic two-story skylit gallery with octagonal Saltillo floors leads to a beamed family room with a fireplace, wet bar, and doors to the pool terrace. Nearby, a secluded ensuite guest room offers direct pool access, while a temperature-controlled wine cellar tucked beneath the stairs is ready for effortless entertaining. Upstairs, a central mezzanine connects the formal living and dining rooms, a glass octagonal breakfast room opening to the upper terrace, and a chef's kitchen with a marble island, Thermador range, Sub-Zero refrigeration, and adjacent catering area/pantry. Indoor-outdoor access from nearly every room brings in birdsong, fountain sounds, and natural light. A long, sunlit corridor leads to a bedroom wing with four ensuite bedrooms, including one with a private entrance ideal for a home office or staff quarters. The primary suite evokes the quiet elegance of a Montecito estate, with original gabled trusses, a fireplace, sitting area, custom walk-in closet, private fountain deck with northern valley views, and a barrel-vaulted bath featuring a freestanding tub, hand-printed terracotta tile, Calacatta Gold marble, and Samuel Heath fixtures. Beneath century-old oaks and sycamores, terraced grounds unfold through garden paths that lead to a pool, spa, fire pit, trellised dining loggia, outdoor BBQ casita, and multiple lounge areas. True to the architect-owner's uncompromising vision, every system has been updated to modern standards and carefully maintained. The property is offered with an EV charger, elevator, and plans for a future guest house, including a survey, completed slope analysis and 3D model. Located in an exclusive gated community with 24/7 security monitoring and patrol service.
