he Hamptons defines luxurious living for American
families — broad shingled homes with expansive
lawns and generous, comfortable outdoor spaces
to enjoy summer days and family gatherings," says builder
and developer Joe Comartin of Woodlane Properties. "This
house had the potential to provide the backdrop for that
style of life."
In addition to its grand architecture, the 10,617-square-foot,
seven-bedroom, nine-bedroom property is located within
the prestigious guard-gated Royal Oaks Colony, at 3928
Hayvenhurst Drive in Encino, California.
"This home was originally built as a period English Tudor
with heavy timbering, dark red brick and obscured stained-
glass windows," says Comartin. "It offered exceptional
flow, tremendous scale and well-placed rooms. However,
both the interior and exterior were quite serious, formal and
imposing. The overall feeling was oppressive and dark."
The transformation brightened all the different areas and
expanded the openings to the grounds. Anchored by a
sweeping staircase and double-height ceilings, the grand
foyer is an invitation to discover the rest of the spaces such
as the formal living room bathed in natural light; the ink
blot blue lacquered library; the open concept living space;
and the primary suite with its 500-square-foot closet and
hair salon, among others.
A gym with steam shower, movie theater, climate-controlled
wine cellar, three-car garage with two EV chargers, as well
as the outdoor areas with the pool, Regency-style cabana
daybed, covered dining pavilion, two fire pits, a sports
court and a secret garden are the final ingredients making
this a dream home.
