5130 Woodley AV Encino CA 91436 MLS #26658515

A quintessential entertainer’s paradise, this traditional Hesby Oaks ranch-style home is set back from the street on a large lot with amazing outdoor spaces, including a resort-like backyard oasis with an incredible extra-large black-bottom pool and spa. Charming red brick contrasts with its soothing white facade, contributing to the home’s inviting curb appeal. Upon entering the expansive, open floor plan, discover views of verdant greenery, gleaming wood floors, an abundance of natural light, and exposed beams overhead. The living room and family room, each with sliding glass doors to the rear grounds, are partitioned by a rustic two-sided brick fireplace with built-ins. The updated kitchen, with a direct sight line to both gathering spaces, is positioned to allow meal preparation while participating in all of the fun. This highly efficient culinary command center is appointed with butcher block countertops, copious cabinetry, tile backsplash, large walk-in pantry, double ovens, and an island with cooktop and hood. Entertain and serve party guests in the nearby formal dining room with picture window. The primary bedroom is spacious, and its en-suite bathroom includes a dual-sink vanity, glass-enclosed shower, and tub. Secondary bedrooms are also well-sized, one of which feels more like a junior primary with large sliding door and fantastic garden views. A custom-designed office conversion, not included in the bedroom count, has its own bathroom, cooling concrete floors, and a separate entrance, perfect for freelance, private practice, or business use. This voluminous space has high ceilings, exposed architectural beams, and large paned windows. In the vacation-like backyard, converse with friends on the patio, roam and play on the grassy lawn, or dine-al fresco amidst drought-tolerant landscaping and privacy hedges. The recently renovated pebble-finished pool, uncommonly large for the area, is fitted with designer tile and includes a spa planted in the deep end for amusing transitions between warm and cool. Guests typically enjoy this backyard paradise so much, that they never want to leave! Modern amenities include voice- and device-controlled smart light switches with adjustable mood and scene-setting capabilities, perfect for holiday festivities and movie nights. Security cameras cover all exterior angles: driveway, front entrance, backyard, and side yard. Located within the attendance boundaries of highly-sought, award-winning Hesby Oaks Leadership Academy just moments to the fine shops, boutiques, and dining along Ventura Boulevard.
