15235 Valley Vista BL Los Angeles CA 91403 | MLS #26874443

A rare 17,008-square-foot flat, private South of the Boulevard estate property in Sherman Oaks, with a gorgeous, character rich East Coast inspired traditional residence with pool, detached guest cottage and beautifully landscaped grounds. Moments from Ventura Boulevard with easy access to the Westside and greater Los Angeles, it offers an increasingly difficult combination to find: substantial, usable land, privacy and a truly special home all on one property. For those who want a true sense of space, the appeal is simple: you don’t have to choose between space and location. The generous, flat grounds make room for broad lawns, a pool, outdoor entertaining and a separate guest cottage while still leaving the property feeling open and expansive. There is room to live comfortably now, and meaningful flexibility to add or evolve the property over time without sacrificing the land that makes it so unusual. And the house is every bit as compelling as the setting. The Hamptons inspired traditional is beautifully proportioned and full of thoughtful detail. Behind the hedges and white picket gate, the house is remarkably private, with views of the grounds from nearly every turn. The living room, with its marble fireplace, built-ins and garden views works just as well for everyday living as it does for entertaining. The generous cook’s kitchen has abundant Carrara marble counter space, a substantial center island, 48-inch Wolf range and dual Sub-Zero refrigeration, with the scale to cook, gather and entertain. The first-floor primary suite makes main-level living easy, while three additional bedrooms upstairs have their own character, with pitched ceilings, window seats and views across the property. The detached guest cottage – with its own living room, bedroom, fireplace and bath – gives you something equally valuable: genuine separation. Guests can stay comfortably, family can have their own space, or it can become an office, studio or retreat that feels distinct from the main house. Altogether, there are approximately 3,695 square feet of living space across the two structures, with five bedrooms and three baths. And, the location completes the equation. The property is convenient to Buckley, Harvard-Westlake, Campbell Hall, Curtis, Milken, Mirman, Notre Dame, Oakwood and area public schools, with Ventura Boulevard close by and easy access to the Westside. What makes this property so difficult to replace is the combination: more than 17,000 square feet of flat, private land and a house you would actually choose for its own merits. You have room to spread out, entertain, host and evolve the property over time, while still enjoying a house with real character and easy access to everything.
