16700 Bosque Dr, Encino, CA 91436

First time on the market in approximately 50 years, 16700 Bosque Drive is a rare single-story Mid-Century residence sited on a private, gated parcel of roughly 19,357 square feet. A winding driveway threads through mature oak and olive trees and arrives at a charming gated courtyard with a fountain—an immediate sense of seclusion and ceremony. The 2,144-square-foot floorplan delivers classic Mid-Century bones with practical updates: a living room anchored by a French limestone fireplace, a beamed ceiling with clerestory windows, built-in bookcases and hardwood floors through most of the home.

The kitchen features granite counters and a Sub-Zero refrigerator/freezer and flows directly to the dining room where expansive wine-refrigerated closets and French doors open to a covered patio and spa finished in Pebble Tec. The covered patio and spa area create an extended entertaining room that blurs indoor and outdoor living. The primary suite has been refreshed with a marble-clad bathroom, dual vanities, separate shower and a soaking tub. One secondary bedroom enjoys an en suite three-quarter bath; the third bedroom has been thoughtfully converted to a built-in office—perfect for remote work.

Practical systems and lifestyle features include speakers throughout, a security system with cameras, a powder room off the foyer, and a laundry room with sink. A detached accessory room—climate-controlled and wired for sound—has been used as a gym but offers flexible use as an office, studio or potential permitted ADU conversion subject to City approval. The single-level layout is especially attractive to buyers seeking long-term livability without stairs.

Located within the desirable Lanai-area school boundaries and minutes from Ventura Boulevard’s shops and dining, this property balances privacy with neighborhood convenience. Exceptional lot size and mature landscaping make this a standout offering in Encino.
