5005 Rubio Avenue

Set on a lot in one of Encino's sought-after neighborhoods, 5005 Rubio Avenue is a newly constructed architectural residence built with timeless materials and exceptional craftsmanship. The exterior pairs smooth stucco with white stone masonry beneath a standing-seam metal roof, while arched windows and olive trees give the home an established presence. Inside, wide-plank White Oak floors lead past a sculptural staircase set against a full-height white stone wall, lit from above by a skylight that draws natural light deep into the home. The main level flows around an open great room, where a stone-surround fireplace sits between arched shelving in White Oak. A wall of steel-framed glass sliders opens the room to the rear yard, dissolving the line between inside and out. The kitchen is finished in custom White Oak with a dramatic waterfall island in veined stone and a matching full-height backsplash. Open shelving, a plaster hood, and black hardware add warmth, while double wall ovens and a gas cooktop with pot filler keep the space fully equipped.

A generous walk-in closet is fitted with custom White Oak built-ins and integrated lighting.
