Description
OFFERS DUE THURSDAY, 8/13 OR SOONER. Located south of Valley Vista, where the streets feel more like a peaceful country lane, this warm Colonial Revival home has been lovingly cared for by the same family for over 50 years. Thoughtful updates and meticulous maintenance have preserved the timeless character and charm that make this home so special. From the moment you arrive, classic details and inviting curb appeal set the tone. The welcoming entrance hall leads to a traditional living room with a fireplace, creating an elegant yet comfortable setting. The cheerful, updated eat-in country kitchen offers generous cabinetry, ample counter space, and an adjacent breakfast banquette that comfortably seats eight. The home offers three bedrooms and two beautiful bathrooms in over 2,100 sq. ft. One bedroom is currently used as a cozy den but can easily be converted back to a bedroom, although the tax assessor records the home as having two bedrooms. The primary suite features vaulted ceilings, abundant closet space, including 2 large walk-in closets, and a well-appointed en-suite bathroom. Set in one of Sherman Oaks' most desirable neighborhoods, within the sought-after Dixie Canyon Charter Elementary School zone and just moments from Ventura Boulevard, Studio City, dining, shopping, and entertainment, this is a rare opportunity to own a home of this character and size in an exceptional location.
