20619 martha

Located in an upscale Woodland Hills enclave on Carlton Terrace, this exceptional property offers the best of both worlds—immediate access to scenic hiking paired with world-class shopping and dining just minutes away. Strategically perched on a private nook off a low-traffic street, the home enjoys an unusually high level of privacy. A rare opportunity for two residences in one, the property features a 5-bedroom, 3-bathroom total layout, split between the main residence at 20619 Martha Street and a fully permitted JADU at 20617 Martha Street. This configuration utilizes the downstairs 2-bed, 1-bath wing as a legal, independent unit—perfect for rental income, multigenerational living, or a private home office. Comprehensively updated with brand-new plumbing, electrical, and triple-zoned smart HVAC, the home reflects timeless luxury with wide-plank white oak floors and Carrara marble. Beyond the aesthetics, the property is engineered for resilience, featuring a high-functioning drainage system with strategic grading and custom hardscape pitched for optimal street runoff. While coastal slides are often caused by unstable bentonite, Carlton Terrace sits on competent Monterey Shale and Sandstone bedrock. The area’s stability is underscored by a surge of $3M–$4M luxury homes newly built in the neighborhood, where rigorous geotechnical evidence is required for development. This is a rare, turnkey, and rock-solid investment in one of Woodland Hills’ most desirable pockets.
