5847 Texhoma Avenue · Lanai Road District
Three bedrooms, two baths, and 1,607 square feet of single-story living on a flat 5,501-square-foot lot. Modern interior, original footprint, full backyard pool, paid solar. A first home that does not act like a starter.
“A fully paid off solar system, a luxurious expansive pool, and an indoor-outdoor flow that knows what a Valley summer asks of a house.”
The Encino brief.
The house started its life as a postwar single-story on a quiet residential street in Encino, the kind of unfussy Valley bungalow you grew up driving past on the way to your grandmother's. The remodel kept what the original architect got right (the low roofline, the porch, the front-yard set-back) and replaced everything that had aged poorly inside.
What it became is a clean, modern interior that opens to a full backyard pool. The materials inside are warm but quiet. The slider to the pool deck does the work that, in 1949, would have needed a French door and a season of remodel coordination. The dedicated BBQ and outdoor dining area sits a few steps from the kitchen, which is how Encino weather wants a house to behave.
The fully paid solar system on the roof is the unsexy luxury. It is the line item that takes a $1.1M Valley three-bed and quietly removes the electric bill from the math of owning it. Pair that with the Lanai Road, Encino Charter, and Nestle Avenue Charter school options three to seven minutes away, and the property starts to read less like a starter home and more like a first long stay.
Top-to-bottom updates that leave the 1949 footprint intact but bring the materials and finishes into a current, restrained vocabulary.
The slider to the pool deck and the dedicated BBQ and outdoor dining area let the daily living spill outward when the weather is right, which in Encino is most of the year.
Brick coping, blue tile waterline, lit at night. Long enough to swim, shallow enough for the under-ten set.
No lease, no transfer paperwork, no monthly payment. The solar system on the roof is owned outright, and the savings start the day you take title.
Encino Charter, Lanai Road, and Nestle Avenue Charter elementary all sit inside a seven-minute drive, with Lanai Road consistently ranked at the top of the LAUSD list.
Ventura Boulevard's restaurants, cafes, and the everyday errand corridor begin a few blocks away. The 101 entrance is a four-minute drive when you have to be somewhere.
A monthly payment estimate at today's rates. Adjust the down payment and term to match what you would actually do. Taxes, insurance, and HOA not included; HOA on this property is none.
The pocket of Encino north of Ventura Boulevard and east of White Oak is where families settle when they want quiet residential streets but no commute discount. Texhoma Avenue runs parallel to Hayvenhurst, two blocks east of Lanai Road Elementary, and four minutes from the 101 on-ramp at Hayvenhurst.
Coffee on Ventura, hiking at Sepulveda Basin, and the Sunday farmers market at Encino Park sit inside a five-minute drive. The Valley airport at Van Nuys is fifteen minutes; LAX is forty when traffic behaves.
Schedule a private walk-through. Best time on this property is the hour before sunset. We will hold one for you.
