A reported former home of attorney and Kardashian family patriarch Robert Kardashian is on the market in Encino, pairing a brush with pop-culture history with the low-slung ease of a classic California ranch house.

The gated residence at 18056 Lake Encino Drive is asking $2.199 million after a $50,000 price reduction. Set on a private corner knoll in the Lake Encino neighborhood, the single-story home has five bedrooms, three-and-a-half bathrooms and 3,150 square feet of living space.

A warm, private retreat in the Encino Hills

Built in 1964 on roughly 0.29 acre, the home sits behind gates and opens to an intimate courtyard. French doors and windows bring in natural light, while rich wood floors and a fireplace give the living spaces a warm, traditional character. The floor plan includes formal living and dining rooms, a family room and a media room.

The kitchen is designed for serious cooking, with granite counters, Viking appliances, a six-burner range, double ovens, a pantry, bar seating and a casual breakfast area.

Five bedrooms, including a flexible guest suite

All five bedrooms are on the main level. A guest suite with a separate entrance offers useful flexibility for visitors, extended family or a private office. The primary suite includes a walk-in closet and a remodeled bathroom with dual sinks, a steam shower and a jetted tub. Other practical features include an indoor laundry area, central heating and air conditioning, and a two-car garage.

A backyard made for Valley summers

Mature landscaping surrounds the swimming pool, brick patio and outdoor dining areas. The combination of a one-level floor plan, privacy and easy indoor-outdoor access gives the property the relaxed feel that makes the Encino Hills so appealing. Ventura Boulevard shopping, restaurants and services are a short drive away.

The Kardashian connection, with one important distinction

Ownership records show that Robert Kardashian purchased the Lake Encino property in 1999 and sold it in 2004. The current real-estate listing does not mention that ownership history. This home should not be confused with the Kardashian residence at 16254 Mandalay Drive, the separate Encino property discussed in contemporaneous Los Angeles Times coverage of the O.J. Simpson case.

Robert Kardashian became nationally known as a friend and defense attorney for O.J. Simpson and later as the father of Kourtney, Kim, Khloé and Rob Kardashian. He died in 2003.

Price and listing history

The property was listed on June 10, 2026, at $2.249 million and reduced to $2.199 million on July 23. Redfin shows a prior sale in April 2012 for $1.05 million and a rental offering in March 2024 at $8,995 per month. At the current asking price, the home is offered at approximately $698 per square foot. Oren Mordkowitz of Pinnacle Estate Properties represents the listing.
