Nestled on a quiet cul-de-sac in sunny Encino, this home ticks every box as far as we're concerned. The interior is sophisticated and sparkling, with high ceilings, twinkling chandeliers and traditional wainscoting. Home chefs will adore the modern kitchen – it has everything you need and more, with top-of-the-line built-in appliances, plenty of cookware and a gorgeous kitchen island in the centre of it all. After sharing a meal around the dining table, retreat to one of the two family rooms or gather for a movie night in the home cinema, which has soundproof walls and its own snack bar. When you're not relaxing inside, chances are you'll be soaking up the Cali sunshine in the garden. Not only is the saltwater pool perfect for a refreshing afternoon dip, but there are multiple areas to relax and entertain. Shake up a cocktail at the bar, huddle around the firepit when the evening chill sets in or lounge under the covered patio and watch the big game on the outdoor TV. And we can't forget about the master bedroom – it's the definition of sumptuous, with his-and-hers toilets, a separate makeup table, lovely soaker tub and a roaring fireplace. If you want a change of scenery, Santa Monica Pier is a thirty-minute drive away, but there are plenty of restaurants and shops along Ventura Boulevard to tickle your fancy, too.
