The story
Built in 1940, this beautifully maintained French Revival home offers the grace and craftsmanship of another era alongside the comfort and versatility of a newly designed detached ADU. Behind the charming white picket fence, a welcoming front yard and mature elm tree set the tone for a property filled with warmth, history, and heart. The spacious 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath main house is rich with original details, including beveled-glass windows that capture the light in the dining room, a beautiful stained-glass window in the hallway, built-in cabinetry, authentic fixtures and windows. An open and airy floor plan is filled with natural light, with a generous living room anchored by a striking picture window. The elegant dining area flows into an updated eat-in kitchen, complete with a cozy breakfast nook - perfect for casual meals and everyday living. Two generously sized bedrooms feature en-suite bathrooms, complemented by a third bedroom that offers flexibility for family or a home office. Outside, the property truly comes to life. The private backyard offers an expansive patio, a dedicated BBQ area, and a small putting green, creating an inviting setting for entertaining, relaxing, and enjoying the Southern California lifestyle. The separate 800-square-foot, 2-bedroom, 1-bath ADU adds exceptional versatility and value. Bright and modern, the ADU features a spacious living room, large windows, and accordion-style French doors that fill the space with natural light. Whether used for extended family, guests, a home office, a creative studio, a game room, or rental income, the possibilities are endless. This exceptional Burnet Avenue property offers a rare blend of historic character, thoughtful updates, indoor-outdoor living, and flexible space for the way we live today. Ideally located just minutes from the shops, restaurants, and energy of Ventura Boulevard, this special Sherman Oaks property is a true original.
