You don't have to choose between space and location. Here, you get both. Once you pass through the gates, the property reveals itself as a private, almost magical compound with broad lawns, beautifully landscaped grounds, a pool and guest cottage, all hidden behind mature hedges. Set on a rare 17,008-square-foot flat, private lot South of the Boulevard in Sherman Oaks, the property combines a character-rich East Coast inspired traditional residence with the kind of usable land that is increasingly difficult to find. This is the kind of space that changes how you can live at home. There is room for birthday parties, school gatherings, summer dinners by the pool, holiday celebrations that spill outside and the kind of entertaining that is hard to accommodate in most homes. And even when the property is full of people, it still feels open, private and expansive. The house is every bit as compelling as the setting. The Hamptons-inspired traditional is beautifully proportioned, warm and full of character, with views of the grounds from nearly every turn. The living room, with its marble fireplace, built-ins and garden views, feels relaxed enough for everyday life and gracious enough for entertaining. The generous cook's kitchen is designed for both, with abundant Carrara marble counter space, a substantial center island, 48-inch Wolf range and Sub-Zero refrigeration, and plenty of room for people to gather while dinner is being made. A first-floor primary suite makes main-level living easy, while three additional bedrooms upstairs have their own charm, with pitched ceilings, window seats and views across the property. The detached guest cottage adds another layer of flexibility, with its own living room, bedroom, fireplace and bath. It gives overnight guests genuine privacy and works equally well as a home office, creative studio, private retreat or flexible space for multigenerational living. Altogether, there are approximately 3,695 square feet of living space across the two structures, with five bedrooms and three baths. And there is still room to think ahead. The unusually flat grounds offer meaningful flexibility to add, rework or evolve the property over time without sacrificing the openness and privacy that make the land so unusual. The location completes the picture, with Ventura Boulevard close by, convenient access to Buckley, Harvard-Westlake, Campbell Hall, Curtis, Milken, Mirman, Notre Dame, Oakwood and area public schools, and easy access to the Westside and greater Los Angeles. What makes this property so difficult to replace is the combination: more than 17,000 square feet of flat, private land, a genuinely special home and a location that keeps you connected to the rest of Los Angeles.
