About This Property

Welcome to 5071 Gaynor Avenue, located in the highly coveted Hesby Oaks school district in sunny Encino, CA. This beautifully maintained, 2,400-square-foot, single-level mid-century residence has been lovingly cared for by its long-term owners for nearly 65 years and is now ready for its next chapter. Set on an expansive, nearly 10,000-square-foot lot on a quiet non-thoroughfare street, this exceptional property sits just around the corner from Hesby Oaks Elementary, Encino Little League, Class A office space, and the fine dining and boutiques along Ventura Boulevard. Beyond the circular driveway, framed by two stately carrotwood trees, step into a timeless formal entry featuring original wood paneling and classic black slate flooring. This leads seamlessly into a light-filled living room anchored by a double-sided fireplace - a wonderful focal point for relaxed evenings with family and friends. Adjacent to the living area is a formal dining room accented with gorgeous oak hardwood floors and a lighted tray ceiling, offering an ideal setting for hosting dinner parties. Just beyond, the spacious family room addition features a wet bar, custom built-ins, and sliding glass doors that frame views of the private backyard. At the heart of the home, the bright and airy chef's kitchen boasts premium quartz countertops, subway tile backsplash, a charming bay window, and a sunny breakfast nook with a skylight for your morning routine. A convenient powder bath, dedicated laundry area, abundant storage, and direct access to the two-car garage complete this wing. Down the hall, a full bathroom services two generously sized bedrooms - one featuring its own set of sliding doors opening to the garden. The private primary retreat offers a versatile open closet area ideal for an office and dressing room, an ensuite bath with a dual-sink vanity, and a quiet, peaceful sleeping area. Outside, the backyard is tailored for Southern California outdoor living, complete with a swimmer's pool, spa, lush lawn, and a covered pergola perfect for alfresco dining - all enveloped in mature privacy hedging. Beautifully maintained and superbly located, 5071 Gaynor Avenue presents a rare opportunity to move right in, build equity over time, or craft your ultimate dream home.
