About this home

Built in 1954, this reimagined California ranch offers a clean, single-level layout with strong indoor-outdoor flow. The main living spaces sit at the center of the home, where natural light fills the living room and highlights hardwood floors, a clean fireplace surround, and built-in cabinetry. French doors open directly to the backyard, while a wide front window provides consistent daylight throughout the day. The living room flows seamlessly into the fully remodeled kitchen (2025). A skylit island anchors the space and creates a natural gathering point, complemented by generous cabinetry, quartz countertops, open shelving, and new stainless steel appliances. The kitchen opens to a spacious dining area and dry bar, with glass doors framing views of the patio and hillside beyond, enhancing everyday living and entertaining. The bedroom wing is set apart from the main living areas, providing privacy and a quieter atmosphere. The primary suite includes its own bathroom and direct access to the yard. Two additional bedrooms allow the home to function as a true three-bedroom layout, offering flexibility for guests, work, or changing needs. Both bathrooms have been updated with clean, thoughtful finishes. One features a skylit walk-in shower, while the other includes a travertine-tiled tub with a glass enclosure. Outdoor spaces are private and inviting, shaped by mature trees, layered landscaping, and the natural rise of the hillside. A pergola-covered patio with a spa tub extends the dining area outdoors, while a curved built-in bench surrounds the fire pit for evening gatherings. The fenced lawn provides space to relax, play, or garden while maintaining a cohesive setting. A detached office sits slightly apart from the main house, offering a quiet, independent space well suited for work or creative use. Recent interior updates allow the home's mid-century architecture and layout to shine. Located in a desirable Sherman Oaks pocket near the Village, with easy access to the 405 and 101 freeways.

Cons

MLS Listing Discrepancy: Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 1908, other record living area = 1786.
Lack of Explicit HVAC System: The property description does not mention the presence of a cooling system (e.g., central air conditioning), which could be a significant consideration for comfort during hot Southern California months.
Age of Core Infrastructure: Built in 1954, while cosmetically updated, there is no explicit mention of upgrades to major underlying systems such as plumbing, electrical, or roofing, which may require future attention or inspection.
Potential for Sloped Lot: The mention of 'natural rise of the hillside' suggests a potentially sloped lot, which might limit extensive flat usable yard space or require specific landscaping maintenance.
