Tucked away South of Ventura Boulevard in the hills above Sherman Oaks, sits a private, gated mid-century style home, blocks from Dixie Canyon Charter Elementary School, St. Francis Elementary, the Buckley School and Harvard-Westlake School. Walk through the front door into the open simplicity of the living room and dining area. On the fireplace wall behind you, beautifully designed bookshelves and cabinets, on the other, windows open to a breathtaking view above the tree tops and across the Valley to the mountains beyond. Have your morning coffee al fresco on the patio, at the dining room table or in the spacious gourmet kitchen. A few steps take you downstairs to the primary bedroom with ensuite bath and walk-in closet. A large family style room for cozy family evenings watching TV or for the kids to call their own, separates the primary from two more bedrooms and full bath. All the rooms open through sliding doors to another patio, an additional spot for entertaining or relaxing as the sun sets over the Valley. The views, fully landscaped hillside and flat lawn area below make this one-of-a-kind property a park-like living experience. It's hard to beat a hillside home that's within easy walking distance to schools, coffee houses, restaurants, bagels, gyms and Pilates studios, and a short drive from Whole Foods, Trader Joes, Gelsons and Ralphs.

While the kitchen and bathrooms have been tastefully updated with modern finishes (white shaker cabinets, stainless steel appliances, contemporary fixtures, and mid-century modern inspired wood slat vanities), and the flooring throughout is in good condition (hardwood, wood-look, and tile), the property was built in 1941. The description and analysis highlight the 'Absence of Central Air Conditioning' as a significant weakness, which is a major system deficiency for a property in Southern California. Despite the appealing cosmetic renovations, the age of the original structure and the lack of a crucial modern comfort system prevent it from reaching a 'Good' score, as major systems are not fully up to current standards or within expected lifespan without significant investment. It is well-maintained but requires substantial system upgrades for modern living.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Great Schools: Elementary School: Warner Avenue Elementary School (9/10).
Panoramic Views: The property boasts breathtaking panoramic views across the Valley to the mountains, city lights, and hills, enhancing its appeal and providing a serene backdrop.
Prime Location & School Proximity: Situated South of Ventura Boulevard in the desirable Sherman Oaks hills, it offers a private, gated setting within walking distance to top-rated schools (Dixie Canyon, St. Francis, Buckley, Harvard-Westlake) and numerous local amenities like coffee shops, restaurants, and grocery stores.
Exceptional Outdoor Living: Multiple patios, a fully landscaped hillside, and a flat lawn area create a 'park-like living experience' perfect for entertaining, relaxing, and enjoying the views al fresco.
Functional & Versatile Layout: Features an open living and dining area, a spacious gourmet kitchen, and a large family-style room downstairs, providing distinct yet connected spaces for family life and entertaining.
Privacy & Gated Entry: The private, gated entrance enhances security and exclusivity, offering a secluded retreat in a sought-after neighborhood.

Cons

Age of Property & Potential System Updates: Built in 1941, the mid-century home may require updates to major systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that are not explicitly mentioned as having been recently renovated.
Absence of Central Air Conditioning: The property description does not mention a cooling system, which could be a significant drawback during hot Southern California summers and may necessitate a future installation.
Listing Price Above Estimated Value: The current listing price of $2.25M is approximately 4% higher than the estimated property value of $2.157M, potentially impacting buyer perception or negotiation leverage.
