Inside an Encino Estate Where Minimalism Gets a Warm, Material-Rich Twist

Perched high in the coveted Encino Hills, a newly completed residence by designer Dorothy Macik and architect Eran Gispan presents a compelling study in modern architecture and California tranquility. Framed by unobstructed canyon views and wrapped in a harmonious mix of limestone veneer, smooth plaster, and composite siding, the home reads as both sculptural and serene—a striking addition to the hillside.

A pivoting glass door leads to interiors that feel both expansive and intimate. Wide-plank white oak floors run throughout the open-plan layout, softened by custom gray-smoke cabinetry and natural stone finishes. In the heart of the home, the chef’s kitchen blends refined materials and clean lines with real utility: Quartzite countertops, honed marble backsplashes, Watermark fixtures, and sleek bespoke cabinetry offer a cohesive and functional canvas for everyday living and elevated entertaining.

The main living spaces are anchored by a dual-sided fireplace surrounded by hand-forged steel shelving with smoke-tinted mirrors, while velvet wallpaper adds rich contrast and unexpected texture. Expansive Fleetwood sliders disappear into the walls, seamlessly extending the indoors to a thoughtfully programmed backyard: a sparkling pool and spa, outdoor BBQ kitchen, and sports court all oriented to capture the surrounding landscape.

Upstairs, four en-suite bedrooms each offer privacy and elevated design. The primary suite opens to a private patio with breathtaking views, a cozy fireplace, and a spa-like bath clad in travertine stone. Dual vanities, a soaking tub, and a glass-enclosed shower create an indulgent retreat, while light and landscape remain constant themes throughout the upper level.

Entertainment is redefined in the home’s cinema-worthy movie theater, designed for full sensory immersion. A detached ADU offers added flexibility, currently configured as a gym and guest quarters—ideal for extended stays or creative pursuits. Additional highlights include a powder room with a handmade stone sink, modern drywall detailing, Allied Maker light fixtures, and a fully integrated smart home system with premium sound and lighting control.

Just minutes from Ventura Boulevard, this one-of-a-kind home offers a rare combination of elevated design, functionality, and natural beauty—proof that true luxury lies in the details.

4442 Estrondo Drive is offered at $9,500,000.
