Set south of Ventura Boulevard in a coveted pocket of Sherman Oaks, this character-rich Cape Cod residence offers a rare sense of warmth and permanence, thoughtfully preserved while evolving naturally for modern living. Inside, exposed wood-beamed ceilings, hardwood floors, built-in bookcases, and a mantled wood-burning fireplace lend depth and character to the light-filled living spaces. The kitchen is appointed with a Viking range, generous breakfast area, and walk-in pantry, opening to the family room and an adjacent office nook with a custom built-in desk. Four bedrooms are complemented by flexible additional spaces for a home office, gym, or downstairs playroom. The primary suite occupies a private position above the gardens, with vaulted ceilings, an ensuite bath, and a balcony overlooking the pool and treetop canopy beyond. Throughout the home, original architectural details have been carefully retained, preserving the sense of history and individuality that gives the residence its particular charm. Beyond the interiors, mature privacy hedges envelop a secluded backyard retreat centered around a newer saltwater pool and spa. An expansive brick terrace, built-in BBQ island, and surrounding greenery create a layered outdoor setting for long lunches, evenings by the pool, and effortless entertaining. A gated driveway leads to a detached garage offering additional potential as an ADU, guest house, or studio.
