A stone walkway sandwiched
by hedges leads up to a covered
front porch. The light-filled living
room has a fireplace, a bay window
and views of the landscaped front-
yard.
The 2,319 square feet of living
space includes a family/dining
room, an updated kitchen, a
breakfast nook, four bedrooms
and three bathrooms. French
doors in the master suite open to
the backyard. There’s also an
office/den.
Outside, lawn and landscaping
border a patio area. A detached
two-car garage lies on a side yard.

Looking to score
one in the Valley
As a tight end in the NFL, An-
tonio Gateshas made eight Pro
Bowl teams and set a league
record for most touchdowns by a
player at his position. Now, the
former Chargers star is looking for
a different kind of score.
Gates, 39, has put his home in
Encino on the market for
$7.249 million.
The modern showplace, built in
2016, is tucked away behind gates
and sits on a small knoll measur-
ing two-thirds of an acre.
Gates and his wife, “WAGs”
reality TV personality Sasha
Gates, bought the multilevel home
two years ago and added skylights
and a sauna. One of the garages
was converted into Gates’ office,
and a motor court was built for
additional parking.
Beyond the oversize front door,
the open-concept floor plan fea-
tures wide-plank oak floors, pock-
eting walls of glass and 15-foot
ceilings — a feature that probably
appealed to the 6-foot-4 Gates. A
two-way fireplace divides the
family room and kitchen area. A
glass-enclosed wine cellar and
tasting room pops out in the fam-
ily room.
The home theater, which fea-
tures a high-end projector and
theater-style seating, displays
game balls and other sports mem-
orabilia from Gates’ playing days.
Outside, the six-bedroom,
nine-bathroom house is accompa-
nied by an infinity-edge swimming
pool with a spa, a sports court, a
fireplace and a built-in barbecue.
A grassy yard and covered patio
space round out the setting. ViewsPhotographs by Wayne Ford
