Some homes are built. Others are crafted. This Sherman Oaks home falls into the second category. Designed and built by a husband-and-wife team, it's not a flip, it's a personal project shaped by time, care, and a love for thoughtful, organic design. From the outside, the home feels calm and balanced. The layout and details are intentional, inviting you in at a slower pace. A limestone fountain and limestone fire-pit anchor the outdoor spaces, creating a natural place to gather. An olive tree adds a quiet, sculptural presence to the landscape. An outdoor kitchen finished with handcrafted zellige tile extends the living space outside, designed for easy hosting and everyday use. Thoughtfully layered landscaping softens the architecture and helps the home feel like a quiet retreat in the middle of the Valley. Inside, the home opens with light and ease through a high ceiling entrance that immediately sets the tone. Wide-plank oak floors run throughout, adding warmth and continuity. Accents of Roman clay and limewash add soft texture and depth, giving the home a relaxed, lived-in feel. The materials are simple and grounded limestone, oak, handcrafted tile, and alabaster and raw brass lighting fixtures, chosen to age naturally and beautifully over time. The kitchen sits at the center of the home and is designed for real life. Custom oak cabinetry and Thermador appliances make it both functional and welcoming. A large walk-in pantry adds storage and practicality, supporting everyday living and entertaining. The primary suite is quiet and calming, designed as a true retreat. The primary bathroom carries an organic, spa-like feel, finished with limestone tile and handcrafted zellige tile. The textures are soft and natural, creating a space that feels relaxed and intentional. Each additional bedroom and bathroom follows the same approach-- simple, cohesive, and thoughtfully finished, keeping the home feeling consistent and calm throughout. A second-floor laundry room is thoughtfully placed for daily convenience. Outside, an outdoor bathroom designed for pool use adds ease and functionality, finished with the same care and materials found throughout the home. Located in a prime Sherman Oaks neighborhood, minutes to Sportsmen's Lodge, the Canyons, and the 101 and 405 Freeways, this home offers easy access to daily conveniences while still feeling private and grounded. It's more than just a house, this is a home made with intention and designed to be lived in and enjoyed for years to come.
