*This area is officially designated Sherman Oaks by the Los Angeles City Council* Many shoppers are tired of getting outbid by cash investors/flip artists on anything remotely affordable that comes on the market. Well, owner-occupants, here’s your chance to get into Sherman Oaks in this ideally positioned property - it’s much too nice to be flipped, but not upgraded so much that it's no longer affordable by mere mortals - right in the middle, it’s a Goldilocks property. Pretty street, charming house, full of traditional character from the refinished real hardwood floors (no laminate here) to the mouldings and a fireplace just like the Cleavers'. Front yard features a meandering decomposed granite path through a carefully selected xeriscape to a classic porch entry. House has double pane windows, central air, copper plumbing, and a 2 car garage that's still a garage, accessed by a long concrete gated driveway. The kitchen is updated with modern oak cabinetry and solid-surface counters, and all appliances are included; there’s a sunny breakfast nook or office area here too. The 3 bedrooms (1 has had its doors removed for use as a den) are accessed via a short hall (minimal 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, plus raised garden beds in back.
