About this home

We found 3 Cons,5 Pros. Rank: price - $1.40M(4th), sqft - 1604(6th), beds - 3(28th), baths - 2(10th).

Set along a serene, treelined street in the coveted Hesby Oaks School district, this stunning midcentury ranch-style gem invites you to live the classic San Fernando Valley dream. Crafted by the celebrated architect William Mellenthin, this home showcases the very charm and durable craftsmanship he's famed for; from its open-beam ceilings and a dramatic two-sided brick hearth to its expansive walls of glass that bathe the home in radiant California sunshine. This home features freshly refinished oak floors in the living areas and brand-new flooring in the kitchen and baths with rich, lath-and-plaster walls that recall the home's authentic midcentury roots. The light-filled living room, graced by giant picture windows, offers a soothing view out to the covered patio that overlooks a private backyard oasis complete with a pool. Storage is plentiful throughout the home; with ample cabinetry, several closets, and a spacious laundry room. Recent enhancements include a brand-new water heater, upgraded toilets and bathroom fixtures, a fresh roof recoating, and updated light fixtures, all completed in the last few months. In addition, the plumbing system was overhauled just two years ago. Families will appreciate that this home is within the Hesby Oaks attendance zone, a top-performing K8 school ranked in the top 10% statewide. Everyone will appreciate the location: within a half-mile of countless shops, restaurants, and stores--including the Sherman Oaks Galleria--and within a mile of many more. All with swift connections to two major freeways that allow you to drive to LA's Westside in minutes and beyond. Public records show two bedrooms but the home has 3, buyers to verify.

Good

Built in 1956, this midcentury home has undergone significant recent updates, including a plumbing overhaul two years ago, and a brand-new water heater, roof recoating, updated light fixtures, and new flooring in the kitchen and baths within the last few months. The living areas feature freshly refinished oak floors. While the bathrooms retain some of their original midcentury charm (e.g., blue wall tiles in one, checkerboard floor in another), they are clean, functional, and have upgraded fixtures and new flooring. The overall condition is move-in ready with major systems recently addressed, aligning with the criteria for a 'Good' score, indicating a well-maintained property with recent updates to key components, without being a full, modern gut renovation.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Prime Location & Accessibility: Located on a serene, treelined street in the coveted Hesby Oaks School district, with excellent proximity to shops, restaurants (Sherman Oaks Galleria), and major freeways for quick access to LA's Westside.
Architectural Heritage & Charm: A celebrated William Mellenthin midcentury ranch-style home featuring open-beam ceilings, a dramatic two-sided brick hearth, and expansive walls of glass, preserving authentic character.
Significant Recent Upgrades: Extensive recent enhancements including a brand-new water heater, upgraded bathroom fixtures, fresh roof recoating, updated light fixtures, and a plumbing system overhaul within the last two years, reducing immediate maintenance concerns.
Private Backyard Oasis with Pool: Offers a private backyard complete with a pool, providing an ideal setting for relaxation and entertaining.
Top-Rated School District: Situated within the attendance zone for Hesby Oaks, a top-performing K8 school ranked in the top 10% statewide, highly attractive for families.

Cons

Bedroom Count Discrepancy: Public records show two bedrooms, while the property is advertised as three, necessitating buyer verification and potentially impacting appraisal or financing.
Lack of Mentioned Central Cooling: The description does not mention a central air conditioning system, which could be a significant drawback in the warm California climate for a 1956-built home.
Price Reduction & Valuation Gap: The property has already undergone a price reduction from its original list price, and the current listing price remains above the estimated market value, suggesting potential overpricing or a slower market response.
