About this home
Single Family · Built 1949
Welcome to "Casa Columbus", a thoughtfully reimagined traditional home tucked beneath a canopy of mature trees on one of Sherman Oaks' most picturesque tree-lined streets. Warm interiors blend timeless charm with curated modern refinement, where 5" plank wood floors, crown molding, and custom plantation shutters create an atmosphere of understated elegance. The fully renovated kitchen is both sculptural and functional, featuring Caesarstone concrete countertops and Viking appliances, while multiple sets of French doors invite seamless indoor-outdoor living. Living spaces are anchored by a cozy fireplace and elevated by bespoke artisan lighting, adding character and quiet sophistication throughout. Beyond the interiors, the backyard unfolds as a lush private retreat where night-blooming jasmine and ivy soften the stucco walls surrounding a reimagined pool and spa, recently upgraded with new PebbleTec finish, tile, lighting, and energy-efficient systems. Brick patios and intimate lounge areas create an environment equally suited for tranquil evenings or stylish entertaining. The property also presents exciting value-add potential with the opportunity to expand above the garage which can be perfectly suited for an in-law suite, recording studio, home gym, home office, or other creative use. Located within the award-winning Kester Elementary School District. Within close proximity to Sportsmen's Lodge, Sherman Oaks Galleria, and all of the best restaurants, boutiques, and entertainment that Sherman Oaks and Studio City have to offer. Truly an exceptional and charming home all at an attractive price for a turnkey home in Sherman Oaks.
