5725 Vesper Avenue, Sherman Oaks, CA 91411

Here’s your chance to get into Sherman Oaks in this ideally positioned home - plenty of system and interior updates but not upgraded beyond the bounds of affordability - right in the middle, it’s a Goldilocks property. Pretty street, charming house, full of traditional character from the refinished solid oak hardwood floors (real, not laminate) to the mouldings and a real fireplace just like the Cleavers’ - and it’s in great shape. Front yard features a meandering decomposed granite path through a carefully selected xeriscape to a classic front porch entry. Note the high quality double-pane windows as you enter the front L-plan living/dining room. The kitchen is updated with oak cabinetry and solid-surface counters, and all appliances are included; there’s a sunny nook or office area here too. The 3 bedrooms (1 does not currently have doors, used as a den) are accessed via a short hall (no wasted space in this plan), which also leads to the nicely updated full bath, with separate tub & shower. Out back, the ample garden is shaded by a mature mulberry tree and there are all sorts of fruit & citrus on this lot. A wooden-gated concrete driveway leads to the rear attached garage, which features an epoxy-coated floor for a remarkably clean appearance and direct access to the house. Among the hidden assets, the house has copper plumbing, central heat & air, new paint, replaced mouldings, refinished floors, new dishwasher - truly a well maintained and obviously loved home.
