Beautifully preserved classic mid-century ranch home in Encino Hills! Perched on a corner lot south of Ventura Blvd., in the coveted Lanai School zone, this 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom pool home has had the same owners since 1960. As you cross through the entryway, original stone floors lead you to the sunlit formal living room, with its original fireplace and iconic mid-century hearth and chimney. Floor-to-ceiling windows look out onto the freshly landscaped flower garden and the street below. Sliding glass doors throughout the home lead to the large, newly tiled and plastered sparkling kidney-shaped pool and spacious covered patio - perfect for pool parties and entertaining on warm summer evenings. The eat-in kitchen and formal dining areas open to the pool area, securing the home's seamless indoor/outdoor flow. The large primary bedroom suite flows out to the pool area and showcases large closets, a dressing area, and a full bathroom with terrazzo tile floors. The additional three bedrooms are ample and bright and any could easily double as a work-from-home space. A cozy family den provides pool access, an in-wall fireplace, and is the perfect place to enjoy the quintessential valley lifestyle. With major system upgrades and thoughtful, updated touches throughout, this home is move-in ready. Its natural flow fosters a sense of tranquility and well-being, offering a rare opportunity to live the true California dream.
