Description
Built in 1950, located on a cul-de-sac in the desirable Sherman Oaks enclave, this beautifully maintained and thoughtfully preserved William Mellenthin home captures the perfect blend of timeless character and modern comfort. Rich in original detail, from his signature dovecotes to the pristine vintage bathroom, a stunning dual fireplace, and a dramatic living room with vaulted wood-beamed ceilings that create warmth and architectural interest. The signature glass block accents in the kitchen and scalloped wood trim add a touch of iconic mid-century charm. A formal dining area provides the perfect setting for gatherings, while the spacious, cozy den opens to the backyard. Gorgeous refinished original hardwood floors run throughout, enhancing the homes cohesive and inviting feel. Step outside to a private backyard offering ample space to entertain under the covered patio or take a dip in the sparkling pool, as well as an office off the garage that could be transformed into an ADU. Additional highlights include a vintage 6-burner O'Keefe and Merritt gas oven, Sub-Zero refrigerator and a newer roof and solar panels. This is a rare opportunity to own a true Mellenthin gem where classic design, quality craftsmanship, and modern updates come together in one of Sherman Oaks most desirable neighborhoods.
