About this property
Located on a quiet, tree-lined street in Sherman Oaks, this 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom home offers a great opportunity for both end users and investors.

The backyard is large and flat, with a covered patio, Jacuzzi tub with pergola, and storage shed, leaving plenty of room for gardening, play, or entertaining. A full 2-car garage with laundry completes the property. Buyers can move in as-is and make updates over time, while investors and builders will appreciate the 6,758 sq ft lot, with modern two-story homes over $3M already on the street, as an ideal candidate for a full remodel or new construction. Within walking distance to award winning Kester Avenue Elementary Gifted/High Ability Magnet and just minutes to Ventura Blvd shops, The Galleria, dining, and freeway access (101 & 405).

Payment calculator
Explore a fixed-rate loan scenario. The price comes from this listing; a 20% down payment and 30-year term are starting assumptions, not requirements. Enter your own interest rate—not APR—and estimated costs.
Illustration only—not a rate quote, preapproval, lending offer or affordability determination. Assumes equal monthly payments on a fully amortizing fixed-rate loan; no adjustable rates, interest-only periods or balloon payments. Excludes closing costs, utilities, maintenance, special assessments and other unentered costs. Actual payments and escrow can differ. Review a Loan Estimate with your lender.
