About This Home
As of April 2025Situated on a quiet, tree-lined block on the border of Valley Glen and Sherman Oaks, this 3 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom ranch-style home boasts both charm and privacy. A backyard pool and spa sit beneath a mature overhanging tree canopy with multiple areas for entertainment and relaxation - an idyllic retreat in the desirable Valley Glen neighborhood. Past the west-facing brick front porch, the front door opens into a light-filled formal living room with a cozy fireplace and dining nook. The adjoining kitchen is designed for both functionality and style, complete with quartz countertops, a farm sink, stainless steel appliances, and an additional built-in breakfast area. Beyond the kitchen, a spacious laundry area and powder room offer abundant storage. The home's layout provides separation between the bedrooms for added privacy. Two front bedrooms share a chic, classically updated hallway bath, complete with a separate tub and shower. The primary suite is its own wing, located at the back side of the property, and boasts a large walk-in closet and a luxurious bathroom featuring a shower and dual sinks. Just off the kitchen, in the middle of the home, a large, open-concept living area showcases a family room and dining room with hardwood floors and a second stately fireplace. The family room is flanked by sliding glass doors leading to the expansive and versatile, landscaped yard. Outside, outdoor living is at its finest, with a trellis-covered dining patio, a sparkling pool and spa, and a decomposed granite firepit area. The garage, originally converted with permits to extend the master bedroom, now serves as a storage area, offering endless possibilities for customization. Upgrades to the property include new paint, landscaping, a water heater, newer doors and windows, and dual-zoned HVAC. Nearby, you will find all of the luxuries and conveniences of the valley, including the LAVC Farmers Market on Sundays, the Sportsman's Lodge, Anajak Thai, Petit Trois, Casa Vega, and so much more.
