On the market for the first time in 30+ years, this charming mid-century ranch exudes warmth, character, and an unmistakable sense of home. Set on a generous 8,400+ square foot lot in one of Sherman Oaks' most desirable pockets, the 3-bedroom, 2-bath residence has been thoughtfully refreshed while preserving the vintage details that make it so special.

Freshly painted inside and out, the home features original hardwood floors, updated bathrooms, central air and heat, and a wonderful floor plan designed for both everyday living and entertaining. A spacious living room welcomes you inside, anchored by a cozy central fireplace and large sliding doors that open seamlessly to the backyard beyond.

Just off the living room, the formal dining room connects directly to a delightful vintage kitchen complete with new checkerboard flooring, a new refrigerator, and all the charm you hoped it would have. The bedroom wing includes three well-proportioned bedrooms and two bathrooms, including a lovely primary suite complete with vintage cane-front clo

set doors, direct access to a private deck, and an updated en suite bath featuring new tile flooring, a pedestal sink, and updated fixtures. A separate sunken family room is sure to become a favorite gathering space, complete with a brick fireplace, built-in bar, and oversized sliders that blur the line between indoor and outdoor living.

Outside, mature trees create a peaceful canopy over multiple entertaining spaces, including a pergola perfect for dining al fresco, drought-tolerant landscaping, roses, fresh mulch, an artificial turf play area, a grassy front yard, and a charming white picket fence separating the backyard from the driveway.

The detached two-car garage offers additional storage and flexibility, while a dedicated laundry area includes a brand-new Samsung side-by-side washer and dryer. Ideally located near local parks, studios, shopping, dining, and easy freeway access, you'll enjoy close proximity to some of Sherman Oaks' most beloved destinations, including Petit Trois, Sweet Butter, Mistral, and Bacari.

Warm, inviting, and full of character, this is a home that simply feels good the moment you walk through the door. It's easy to see why the same family has cherished it for more than three decades.
