About this home
Fully updated and thoughtfully reworked, this single story California Ranch in Sherman Oaks offers a rare pairing of modern design, a private pool, and a detached ADU. Inside, light and proportion take the lead. Clean architectural lines are balanced by warm wood tones and layered textures, creating a home that feels calm, grounded, and intentionally designed rather than simply renovated. The living room is anchored by a sculptural white brick fireplace and dramatic skylight overhead, while pale oak-toned floors carry a quiet consistency throughout. Just beyond, a sunken lounge with exposed beams introduces a more relaxed gathering space. A second fireplace wrapped in soft stone adds warmth, and wide sliding doors open to the backyard, drawing your eye straight to the pool and inviting that easy California flow between indoors and out. At the center of the home, the kitchen connects everything. Warm wood cabinetry pairs with crisp quartz counters and a full-height tile backsplash, while a central island keeps conversation close whether you're cooking, hosting, or just pouring a glass of wine at the end of the day. Stainless appliances and generous storage make it as functional as it is refined. Nearby, the dining area sits beside a wide picture window, filling the space with natural light and neighborhood views. A dedicated laundry room with built-in cabinetry keeps daily life organized and out of sight. The private wing continues the cohesive design language with three bedrooms and two bathrooms finished in a restrained, modern palette. Tailored millwork, soft neutral tones, and wide-plank flooring create a quiet backdrop throughout. The bathrooms lean spa-inspired, pairing stone surfaces with custom oak vanities, warm brass hardware, and sculptural mirrors.Out back, the property truly opens up. A broad deck extends from the home to an outdoor fireplace and dining area, setting the stage for long dinners, birthday parties, or quiet mornings with coffee. The pool anchors the yard beyond, surrounded by sun-washed concrete and lounge areas that feel resort-like without trying too hard. Beyond the pool, the detached ADU adds meaningful flexibility and long-term value. Designed with the same thoughtful aesthetic, it includes a full kitchen, living area, private bedroom, and a beautifully finished bathroom with walk-in shower. Washer and dryer hookups, a mini-split system for year-round comfort, and its own address complete this fully self-contained space, ideal for guests, rental income, or a dedicated work-from-home setup.Ideally positioned in the heart of Sherman Oaks, the home enjoys close proximity to Ventura Boulevard's vibrant dining, shopping, and everyday conveniences. Daily errands are effortless with Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, Gelson's, Ralphs, and Pavilions nearby, along with Erewhon in neighboring Studio City and Costco just minutes away. Coffee at Civil Coffee or Sweet Butter Kitchen, brunch at Blu Jam Caf, evenings at Anajak Thai, Osteria La Buca, or Petit Trois Valley, weekends at the Studio City Farmers Market, and outdoor time at Van Nuys Sherman Oaks Park or Fryman Canyon are all within easy reach.
