In the family-friendly neighborhood of Encino, where suburban homes take grand proportions and look like they’ve been taken straight out of a home design magazine, a newly built gated estate sets new standards for luxury.
The elegant home was completed in 2025, and enjoys a stellar location in the heart of Encino, in Los Angeles’ San Fernando Valley.
With contemporary exteriors and bespoke interiors crafted by Finnish designer Anastasia Ratia, the private estate is a tour de force in impeccable design, and comes with stylish amenities to match. It’s now listed for $12,995,000 with Dennis Chernov of The Agency.

A gated suburban estate completed in 2025
Set behind private gates at 4830 Louise Avenue in Encino, Los Angeles — an affluent suburb in the San Fernando Valley known for its tree-lined streets, large homes, and famous residents — the newly completed estate sits on a flat lot that spans over 32,000 square feet.
The home has well over 10,000 square feet of living space
With a generous 10,296 square feet of living space, the newly built home has 5 bedrooms with en-suites, 7 full bathrooms, a gourmet kitchen, and an entertainment-ready backyard with a pool, cabana, outdoor kitchen, and sports court.
Adding to the appeal are a series of glam in-house amenities, a gated circular driveway, and two garages.
Bespoke designer interiors
The Encino house has been designed for modern living, combining warm woods and natural stone throughout a light and airy open floor plan with voluminous ceilings.
The bespoke interiors are the work of Los Angeles-based designer Anastasia Ratia, whose design roots go deeper than her notable career (she’s the granddaughter of famed textile company Marimekko’s founders).
With a formal living and dining area
The spacious formal living and dining area is anchored by a chic wet bar and fireplace that bookend the room, while a large pocket glass door opens to an inviting side courtyard perfect for entertaining.
A family room that opens to the outside
Much like the formal dining and living areas, the oversized family room has a large sliding glass door that opens to the outdoor living spaces. It also features soaring ceilings, warm wood paneling, and a statement fireplace.
The gourmet kitchen has Thermador appliances
The gourmet kitchen is equipped with top-of-the-line Thermador appliances, two oversized islands and a separate prep kitchen with a walk-in pantry. Directly off the kitchen, there’s a bonus room that can serve as a kids’ playroom, rec room or den.
And a separate prep kitchen
Even the separate prep kitchen is stylishly appointed, with dark green cabinetry and stone counters, and built-in appliances.
Five bedrooms with stylish ensuite bathrooms
This home boasts five generously sized ensuite bedrooms, including an expansive primary suite. The luxurious retreat features a massive walk-in closet and a lavish primary ensuite with a soaking tub, oversized shower, dual vanities, and two water closets.
A beautifully appointed walk-in closet
The walk-in closet alone seems bigger than my first apartment (no joke), and is lined with cabinetry from end-to-end, with a marble island at the center. Seating areas, ample storage, and a vanity complete this Carrie Bradshaw-worthy closet.
Amenity highlights: A movie theater
Additional highlights include a state-of-the-art home theater, wood-paneled office, private gym, dedicated laundry room, cutting-edge security and smart home systems with integrated speakers, gated circular driveway and two garages – each offering a mudroom upon entry.
And a home gym with a dark green motif
With a jewel-like, dark green color palette, amenities like the home gym and private home office offer a more masculine approach to the design, with a striking effect.
And a matching deep green bathroom
The dramatic dark green design extends to one of the bathrooms, which also borrows other architectural elements used throughout the house — like the oversized arches.
Outside, generous outdoor areas make the most out of the flat lot
Surrounded by privacy hedges, the backyard is a serene suburban escape that can just as easily be a place for the kids to run around and shoot hoops, as it can be a place to entertain dozens of guests for larger events.
A pool cabana next to a sports court
Featuring a poolside cabana next to an outdoor kitchen, the backyard also has a sports court and an expansive grassy yard, with the tall hedges ensuring privacy.
With a pool, spa, and Baja shelf
Rounding out the outdoor amenities are a pool, spa, and a Baja shelf (also known as a tanning ledge or sun shelf, a Baja shelf is a wide, flat, shallow area in a swimming pool).
