Italian Villa Meets Dream Work-from-Home Estate – A Hidden Encino Treasure
Tucked behind double gates on a private cul-de-sac just south of Ventura Blvd, this celebrity-owned Italian Villa offers the perfect blend of old-world elegance and modern work-life functionality. Nestled on 1.27 acres in a coveted Encino enclave, the home spans over 9,000 square feet of exquisite design, and it’s entirely hidden from view—a true escape in the heart of the city.
For the remote professional, creative entrepreneur, or anyone craving a next-level home office, this estate delivers something truly rare: a 1,549 sq ft detached professional office space with its own entrance, kitchen, bathroom, and multiple private offices. It’s ideal for a recording studio, podcast production, private practice, or dream workspace. Enjoy the tax benefits of a dedicated business space, and wow clients with the most exclusive office address in Encino. And here’s the game-changer: a private 25-car parking lot—perfect for staff, guests, or large-scale events. Where else can you find that in LA? Inside the villa, every detail speaks to luxury—from the grand double-door foyer with soaring ceilings to the library with Pella doors that open to a scene straight out of an Italian café. Entertain in style in the formal dining room, the cabaret theater with stage and full bar, or enjoy a quiet evening on one of the many loggias and balconies. There’s even room for a massive pool to complete the resort feel.
The penthouse-level primary suite is a retreat of its own, accessed via elevator and featuring dual walk-in closets, his-and-hers bathrooms, a steam shower, and a sunken jacuzzi bath wrapped in imported Calacatta gold marble. Off your private gym, sip a nightcap on the veranda and take in glowing sunset views—your perfect end to a productive day. With two recent appraisals at $7.5M+ and priced far below that, this is an unmatched opportunity for luxury living with real work-from-home power. There is nothing else like it on the market!
Come see it in person. One visit and you''ll never want to leave.
