About This Home

As of September 2025

In the most coveted pocket of the sought after neighborhood of Valley Glen, nestled on a tree lined street and surrounded by verdant lush gardens, is a rare opportunity to own a newly remodeled architectural house on a large 8000 square foot lot. This exceptionally reimagined modern craftsman bungalow, with an inviting front porch and multiple back patios, boasts 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms all awash in natural sunlight and greenery. The home was rebuilt from the studs in 2020, using the finest quality elements and bespoke craftsmanship. Highlights include: Cathedral ceilings in the open-floor-plan living room. A custom walnut kitchen with Sub Zero, Wolf and Miele appliances and quartzite countertops. Mid-century modern light fixtures adorn the home throughout and compliment the refined modern bungalow sensibility. The dining room's extra large glass door leads to a serene and secluded oasis - an English garden full of colorful blooms and mature trees, complete with a sparkling blue pool and spa. The primary bedroom walk-in closet is large enough to convert into a bedroom, and both bathrooms provide the ultimate luxury - heated floors under the custom concrete Moroccan tiles. No detail was overlooked and no expense was spared in teh making of theis masterpiece. Close to the 101 and 405 freeways, and the best restaurants and shopping in Sherman Oaks and Studio City, this is where you want to be. Welcome home!
