Cosmetic remodel is in progress for this private, gated estate, which can't be seen from the street. Located on a quiet street in Encino, this prime area is coveted by famous Hollywood celebrities who seek privacy. Natural park-like setting features fantastic trees and foliage on all sides, making it ideal for a family with young children seeking a pool and almost a half-acre of open space to play, or nature lovers and anyone seeking solitude and ample space to roam. Three level pads lead to the current 1-story traditional ranch house at the top of the property. This nearly 1 acre property is reached by a long-gated drive that passes a lower-level park-like yard & leads to a large middle guest parking area. Continuing up to the top level, you travel through an old growth tree forest to find a magical & ultra-private setting replete with a waterfall fishpond, grassy yard & additional multi-car parking. This unique & captivating home currently has 5 bedrooms; a primary & JR suite with a central den at one end of the house, a guest room with bath (currently used as a gym) in the middle & a 2-bedroom wing at the other end of the house with a shared full bath. There is also an elegant formal living room and dining room with classic oak built-ins & an entertainer's bar room. Raised beamed ceilings are found in the living, dining & family room off the kitchen. There is an ultra-private pool area & cathedral ceiling covered outdoor living/dining area perfect for entertaining. Great property for a car enthusiast/collector as there is parking for 8+ cars including a 2-car garage along with 2 additional parking areas. Home is Unfurnished. Submit on Pets.
