Encino, CA

I can hardly believe the price on this cute little turn-key starter home in Encino that I saw today. The 802 square foot home is in a quiet neighborhood north of the 101 freeway. It’s got hardwood floors, central heat and air (very important in the valley), smooth ceilings, copper plumbing, a new water heater, ceiling fans, and a cute kitchen.

You know I’m a sucker for green kitchens! I love the beatboard backed shaker cabinets and the corian counters. It also has a Bosch dishwasher. Bonus!

More photos after the jump.

Today I saw this rare Southern Colonial home in Encino, located south of Ventura Blvd near abundant dining and shopping. The 6 bedroom residence overlooks a gorgeous, heated swimming pool and lush garden filled with many fruit trees, including lemon, pear, apple and pomegranate.

The 3,788 square foot home was built in 1926 and has been updated with care to keep the integrity of the colonial style. The porch wraps around the East side of the house with ample room for outdoor dining.

The living room and adjoining formal dining room or sitting room both have gas/wood burning fireplaces. Dark hardwood floors run throughout the home.

There is an updated chef's kitchen with Williamsburg butcher block countertops, new upscale appliances, and a bright breakfast area. Adjoining the kitchen are a large laundry room and a small basement.

The home has two masters, each with large walk-in closets, en-suite bathrooms and access to the second floor patio with city views.

The home is sited on an 11,103 square foot lot with gated half-circle driveway and this car-lover's garage with car lift. It's located in the district for the excellent school, Lanai Elementary.

This is truly a beautiful home! If you'd like to see it in person e-mail me or call me at (818) 261-5253.

Encino Commons in Encino California is considered the San Fernando Valley’s Miracle Mile

This Archway of a sign is located in the heart of Encino and it crosses over Ventura Boulevard on the West Side by Louise Avenue and on the East Side by Amestoy Avenue. They created a BID (Business Improvement District) with the purpose to beautify and improve the quality of life for the residents nearby and for visitors as well. This was all created by 300 local business owners and about 75 home owners. They created the Business Improvement District in August of 2000. It became a premier retail and entertainment destination for locals and visitors.

They even have their own Website ( http://www.encinocommons.com ) so anyone can check out the Restaurants, Shops and hours of operations. I consider this truly innovative.

Encino has always been very affluent and image conscious. In 1927 movie mogul Daryl F Zanuck bought an old golf course, created a polo field and built a large stable there. Soon the ‘who is who’ of the Movie Industry started settling in to the area. Just to name a few of these celebrities: W.C.Fields, John Wayne and Dinah Shore. Some of the more current celebrities who called Encino home were: Luke Perry, John Goodman, and Wayne Gretzky to name a few.

Encino remains one of the most affluent communities in the San Fernando Valley we like to compare it to the Beverly Hills of the SFV (San Fernando Valley).
