Elegantly updated and incredibly chic, traditional-style home in a prime Sherman Oaks location, just South of Ventura Blvd. On a tree-lined street and set behind a mature hedge and white picket fence, you'll enter through the foyer and step into a stunning formal living room, flooded with natural light and rich with charm. The built-in window seat overlooks the private front patio area and sits opposite a beautiful fireplace. The gleaming new hardwood floors extend into the sunny formal dining room and throughout the house. Not to be outdone by the formal living space, the adjacent but separate family room will WOW you with a newly plastered fireplace, vaulted ceilings, designer light fixtures, and gorgeous french doors opening up onto the deck with built-in firepit. Beyond the deck is an outdoor dining area with trellis and a private grassy yard. The warm and cheerful kitchen features a copper farmhouse sink, stainless steel appliances, a cozy breakfast nook and a separate laundry room. Thoughtfully placed on the opposite side of the home from all the common areas and off a main hall, you'll find all four bedrooms. The primary suite features more gorgeous design details, a walk-in closet, and a primary bath with dual sinks, a soaking tub, a separate shower and heated floors. The first of the secondary bedrooms is spacious enough to serve as another primary bedroom and has direct access to the back deck and outdoor spaces. Two more guest bedrooms, one currently set up as the perfect home office, and a hall bath with a bespoke marble sink complete the functional floor plan. This quintessential California ranch home, originally built by Robert L. Byrd, features the indoor / outdoor and whimsical design elements he was known for. The way the home is situated on its large corner lot, allows for multiple distinct and private outdoor spaces including another large fenced in grassy area complete with the most charming tree swing. Off-street parking is available in the garage and the driveway, but with this convenient location you can leave the cars at home! You have close proximity to highly coveted schools, like the Buckley School and Sherman Oaks Charter, and amazing shops and restaurants, like Petit Trois, HomeState, Sugarfish, Whole Foods, Westfield Fashion Square, Erewhon and The Shops at Sportsmen's Lodge!
