Description
Welcome to this stylishly renovated home in the heart of Sherman Oaks' coveted Chandler Estates. The home features 4 bedrooms and 3 remodeled bathrooms. The 4th bedroom and 3rd bathroom were created through a garage conversion, and there is currently no garage. This flexible space can easily continue as a private guest suite, home office, or bonus room, and could be converted back to a garage if desired. Thoughtfully updated throughout, the home blends modern finishes with warmth, character, and functionality. The expanded kitchen has been beautifully reimagined with generous space for cooking, gathering, and entertaining, while connecting seamlessly to both a formal dining room and a charming breakfast nook. Rich hardwood floors run throughout the home, adding warmth and continuity to the inviting living spaces. Outside, the backyard has been transformed into a private retreat designed for relaxation and entertaining. A refinished saltwater pool serves as the centerpiece, complemented by a covered patio with a newly refinished deck, turf, and custom lighting that creates a welcoming atmosphere day and night. Additional upgrades include new windows and doors, custom shutters, and numerous improvements throughout the home. Move-in ready and full of personality, this Chandler Estates property offers a unique combination of comfort, style, and versatility in one of Sherman Oaks' most sought-after neighborhoods.
