Set on a corner lot in one of Sherman Oaks' most desirable pockets, this classic Mellenthin traditional offers character, space, and incredible potential. A landscaped front yard with mature citrus trees, flowering gardens, and a brick porch welcomes you into a bright living room filled with original charm. The home features a formal dining room, a light-filled kitchen with generous pantry space, and a second fireplace. A spacious beamed family room opens to the backyard, creating an easy indoor-outdoor flow. The primary suite offers sliding glass doors to the yard and a large en suite bath, with two additional bedrooms, a powder room, laundry room, and two-car garage completing the layout. Outside, mature hedges create a private backyard, along with a generous side yard offering additional space and flexibility. Just moments from Ventura Boulevard, neighborhood farmers markets, top-rated schools, and The Shops at Sportsmen's Lodge with Erewhon, Equinox, and acclaimed restaurants, this is a rare opportunity to get into one of Sherman Oaks' most sought-after pockets and make this home your own.
