More Insights

Built in 1956 (69 years old).
Condition: This 1956 midcentury home is in good condition, largely due to significant recent updates. The plumbing system was overhauled two years ago, and a new water heater, roof recoating, and updated light fixtures were completed in the last few months. The living areas feature freshly refinished oak floors, and the kitchen and bathrooms have brand-new flooring. While the home is move-in ready and major systems are well-maintained, the bathroom, as seen in the images, retains its original midcentury tile and vanity, which is clean and functional but stylistically dated. The kitchen's full condition (appliances, cabinets, countertops) cannot be fully assessed without images, but the new flooring is a positive sign. Overall, it's a well-cared-for property with recent essential upgrades, but it hasn't undergone a full modern renovation.

About this home

NEW PRICE! Don't miss this rare midcentury ranch home! Nestled on a serene, tree-lined street in the coveted Hesby Oaks School district, this is the San Fernando Valley lifestyle you've been waiting for. Crafted by the celebrated architect William Mellenthin, this home showcases the very charm and durable craftsmanship he's famed for; from its open-beam ceilings and a dramatic two-sided brick hearth to its expansive walls of glass that bathe the home in radiant California sunshine. This home features freshly refinished oak floors in the living areas and brand-new flooring in the kitchen and baths with rich, lath-and-plaster walls that recall the home's authentic midcentury roots. The light-filled living room, graced by giant picture windows, offers a soothing view out to the covered patio that overlooks a private backyard oasis complete with a pool. Storage is plentiful throughout the home; with ample cabinetry, several closets, and a spacious laundry room. Recent enhancements include a brand-new water heater, upgraded toilets and bathroom fixtures, a fresh roof recoating, and updated light fixtures, all completed in the last few months. In addition, the plumbing system was overhauled just two years ago. Families will appreciate that this home is within the Hesby Oaks attendance zone, a top-performing K8 school ranked in the top 10% statewide. Everyone will appreciate the location: within a half-mile of countless shops, restaurants, and stores--including the Sherman Oaks Galleria--and within a mile of many more. All with swift connections to two major freeways that allow you to drive to LA's Westside in minutes and beyond. Public records show two bedrooms but the home has 3, buyers to verify.
