4705 Sophia Avenue

Set behind a long private driveway in one of Encino's most sought-after hillside enclaves, this newly constructed gated estate at 4705 Sophia Ave reveals itself in layers, beginning with soaring ceilings and walls of glass that fold away to dissolve the line between indoors and out. White oak cabinetry and warm brass fixtures anchor the great room and chef's kitchen, where a beautiful stone backsplash and waterfall island set the stage for both quiet mornings and large-scale entertaining, while a sun-soaked living room create an effortless gathering point that opens directly onto the terrace. Upstairs, the primary suite unfolds behind a textured wood slat wall into its own private retreat, framing treetop and canyon views through a wall of glass that slides open to a personal balcony. Enhancing the home's exceptional indoor-outdoor lifestyle, approximately 6,000 square feet of balcony and terrace space extends across multiple levels, creating a seamless connection to the surrounding landscape and offering abundant opportunities for entertaining, lounging, and taking in the hillside vistas. Outside, the estate truly comes into its own: multiple terraces and a rooftop deck cascade down the hillside toward an infinity pool and spa, surrounded by mature oaks that afford a rare sense of seclusion just minutes from the heart of the city. Tucked into the hills south of Ventura Boulevard, this pocket of Encino has long drawn those seeking a quieter, more residential alternative to the Westside, with easy access over the hill to Beverly Hills and Sunset Boulevard, along with some of the Valley's most desirable schools and tree-lined streets offering a rare combination of privacy, prestige, and proximity that defines the very best of Los Angeles hillside living.
