1951 Mid-Century hideaway perched in the foothills of Sherman Oaks, offering a walkable location to Ventura Blvd and stunning views of the San Fernando valley. Privately hidden up a long driveway and shielded by mature trees you will be taken aback as the majestic exterior comes into view. Wood-clad siding, walls of glass windows and a sprawling outdoor deck are revealed as you make your way to the front door. Enter into an open and airy living space with maple hardwood floors, clearstory windows and 2-story high ceilings. A fireplace frames the living room and the adjacent step-down dining area is a wonderful setting for entertaining. The well appointed kitchen has everything you need to create culinary delights. Warm wood cabinets, Qortstone (engineered Quartz) counters, Viking stainless appliances and a peninsula bar where friends can gather. Overhead skylights provide natural light and the adjoining breakfast room offers views to the outdoors. Down a long hallway (primed and ready for your artwork!) are three bedrooms inc the original primary suite with a fireplace and French doors to the outside. Two additional bedrooms and two full bathrooms complete the 1st floor. Originally built as one level, the home was expanded over the years to include a second floor with a den / lounge area. In 1990 a remodel of the entire home by architect Ruben Ojeda consisted of adding a primary suite to the second level with pitched ceilings and wood beams. The room is surrounded by a bank of windows capturing the fabulous views. The primary bath designed in mid-century character has dual sinks, built-in cabinets and a separate tub & shower. The outdoor areas are truly unique. Beautiful foliage, mature trees and naturally filtered sunlight surround you as you make your way around the property. There are multiple spaces to enjoy serene moments. Find a cozy spot to curl up alone and decompress or have a large gathering on the sprawling deck. Sneak down a few steps to the secret garden for a tranquil moment. A refreshing swimming pool (added in 1990) enjoys its own enclosed area. Morning, afternoon or evening the outdoor lifestyle is in abundance. Updated systems inc plumbing, electrical, 2-zone HVAC, sewer & drainage work and a newer roof. 2-car garage with storage cabinets was rebuilt to support the 2nd floor above it. Wood-clad siding on the home was recently stripped and resealed by the famous Pink Painter. Walk around the corner to the secret stairs to Ventura Blvd! Moments to the valley, the city and all the amenities you need - a one-of-a-kind retreat on your own private hilltop!
