Tucked away on a quiet, tree-lined street in the heart of Sherman Oaks, this privately gated newer construction estate redefines the standard for modern luxury. Over $200,000 in upgrades, including a state-of-the-art security system, custom Lutron motorized shades throughout, a retractable screen for the oversized sliding glass door to keep out pests and debris, an auto gate for added security, and ficus privacy hedges surrounding the entire property. The open-concept floor plan is highlighted by lofty ceilings and expansive walls of glass that flood the space with warm natural light. At the heart of the home lies a designer chef’s kitchen equipped with top-of-the-line Miele appliances, a massive waterfall island, butler’s pantry and separate walk-in pantry. The adjoining formal dining room boasts bespoke wine storage, while the spacious living room’s pocket sliding glass door disappears into the wall, seamlessly extending your living space outside. Designed for the ultimate entertainer, the tranquil backyard retreat is enveloped by lush hedges for unparalleled privacy. Whether you’re hosting at the outdoor BBQ kitchen, complete with a pizza oven and smoker, or unwinding in the sparkling pool/spa, the space feels like a boutique resort. The journey continues inside, where the main level is rounded out by an ensuite bedroom, chic powder room and two-car garage with direct access. Ascend the dramatic floating staircase, where you’ll find three generously sized ensuite bedrooms and a dedicated laundry room. The primary retreat features a spacious private patio, large walk-in closet and sumptuous bathroom, outfitted with a deep soaking tub, oversized rainfall shower and double vanity. Additional amenities include a smart home system with built-in speakers. Ideally located within the top-rated Kester Avenue Elementary school district and just minutes from Ventura Boulevard’s premier shops and restaurants.
