Rare once-in-a-century opportunity to acquire a one-family-owned, 100-year-old classic "” a gorgeous, character-filled Spanish home with sweeping valley views. Set on a 10,000 sq ft lot, the property boasts a commanding 100 feet of street frontage and two very secluded backyards and a set of huge private side yards for ultimate privacy. One of the rear yards offers a number of Runyon Canyon-like meandering paths set under 100-year-old oaks and other mature landscape, while the other features a great grassy play area, ideal for a future pool. Despite being one of the first homes built in Sherman Oaks, it has been thoroughly "” yet sensitively "” modernized. It now features new systems (including roof, sewer line, AC, etc.) and has undergone a complete remodel that retains all its original character and joy, but now beautifully repositioned for a new millennium. The main public rooms include a formal entry, formal living and dining rooms, a large den, and an expansive, light-filled kitchen. The spacious living room includes a fireplace, vaulted stenciled beamed ceilings, built-in shelving, and both a stained-glass vintage bay window and an oversized, arch-topped Palladian-style window. The paneled den offers sweeping views across nearly the entire valley, while the formal dining room opens to a view-facing balcony. The kitchen features a bay window and is appointed with bespoke custom cabinetry, marble countertops, vintage-style tile, and modern appliances "” except for the original stove! "” along with a charming separate pantry and back entrance. The bathrooms have been completely redone, carefully styled to reflect the home's original character. The bedrooms are en-suite, offering views and deck access, with the primary suite including a view-facing clawfoot soaking tub. Natural light abounds throughout the home, gleaming off the original (refinished!) 100-year-old oak floors. The ceilings are coffered downstairs and vaulted upstairs with original stenciled beams. Other old-world features include vintage light fixtures, glass knobs, and original stained glass doors and windows "” all combining to make this one of the most charming and unique homes south of the Boulevard. A home like this only comes around once in a hundred years!
