Property Description

A striking mid-century modern retreat in the coveted Royal Woods neighborhood of Sherman Oaks, this thoughtfully preserved residence embodies timeless California living. Originally designed in 1959 by a protege of Lloyd Wright, the home seamlessly blends architectural pedigree with relaxed, livable elegance. Set behind a private driveway and surrounded by serene canyon views, this property offers a true sense of retreat. Walls of glass define the home, creating a seamless indoor outdoor connection while filling the interiors with natural light. The expansive living room is both dramatic and inviting, featuring warm materials, clean lines, a fireplace, custom built-ins, and direct access to a covered patio. It is equally suited for intimate evenings and effortless entertaining. The chef's kitchen is as functional as it is refined, appointed with Sub-Zero refrigeration, dual ovens, Caesarstone countertops, and generous prep space. It flows effortlessly into a spacious dining area designed to accommodate gatherings with ease. Five well-appointed bedrooms offer comfort and flexibility, each thoughtfully designed with a sense of privacy and understated sophistication. The primary suite serves as a tranquil sanctuary, with glass doors that open directly to the outdoors, enhancing the home's connection to its natural surroundings. A converted garage has been reimagined as a versatile family and game room (door system is in place to be converted back if desired) while a detached, air-conditioned structure offers flexibility as a gym, studio, or private office. The grounds are nothing short of exceptional, forming an immersive outdoor sanctuary anchored by a serene Japanese zen rock garden designed by renowned landscape artist Lew Watanabe. Meandering pathways and curated plantings, including mature ginkgo trees, Japanese cherry and maple, bamboo groves, and sculptural black pine, create a rich, tranquil environment. A sparkling pool and spa, fire pit, covered patio, and fully equipped outdoor dining and BBQ area complete the resort-like setting. With its architectural significance, refined interiors, and extraordinary outdoor spaces, this one-of-a-kind residence offers an elevated yet effortless lifestyle. Ideally located near the Valley's premier dining and shopping destinations, with convenient access to the Westside, this is a rare offering that truly stands apart.
