As of May 2025

Welcome to 5800 Kester Avenue, a rare opportunity to own a completely private, gated duplex in the heart of Sherman Oaks. Featuring two separate addresses, this fully remodeled property is ideal for investors, multi-generational living, or those seeking a flexible live/work setup.Both units are delivered 100% vacant, making this property ideal for immediate occupancy, dual living, or rental income without the hassle of existing tenants. Each residence offers 2 spacious bedrooms and 1 fully renovated bathroom, with its own private entrance and private yard space, creating a sense of separation, privacy, and comfort. Inside, the homes have been fully remodeled with tasteful, modern finishes. Thoughtful upgrades throughout include all-new flooring, dual-pane windows, and brand-new electrical panels and plumbing lines. The kitchens have been fully redesigned with sleek, modern thin shaker cabinets, elegant quartz countertops, and new stainless steel appliances. Stylishly updated bathrooms and tasteful finishes complete the interiors, ensuring comfort and quality throughout. No detail was overlooked. Enjoy Southern California living at its best in the beautifully landscaped outdoor entertainment space, complete with new sod, lush greenery, an upgraded rear gazebo, and a natural gas fire pit – perfect for gatherings or quiet evenings under the stars. The detached two-car garage offers secure on-site parking and the potential for added rental income if converted to an ADU (buyer to verify). With both units delivered vacant, the possibilities are endless – live in one, rent the other, use as an office, or accommodate in-laws.Located in a prime Sherman Oaks neighborhood close to shops, dining, and freeway access, this fully vacant, fully upgraded, and fully private compound is a true gem. Don’t miss your chance to own this exceptional and versatile property.
