Just on the backside of the Hollywood Hills lies Sherman Oaks, home to plenty of its own Mid-Century modern quintessential California style homes. This week’s Open House is a textbook example of the Post and Beam Mid-Century style, as expressed by one of its renowned practitioners, Edward Fickett.
This home “features the perfect California split floor plan” covering a generous 2,646 square feet with four beds and three baths. Modern updates and finishes bring the home into the now, while keeping the bones and vibe of Fickett’s original vision.
Enter to find polished concrete floors poured throughout the house. The open living area has two fireplaces one made of brick, “the other a grand slumpstone.”
The galley style kitchen is full of light, marble countertops with eat-in setup and a laundry nook.
An enormous master suite with vaulted ceilings and walk-in closet and clawfoot tub.
At one end of the house stands a guest bedroom with ensuite bathroom. One the other, you’ll find the two additional guest bedrooms, which share one bath.
What Mid-Century home would be complete without glass sliding doors? These lead to a large and privacy-hedged backyard with a lush green lawn and a free form pool. This home is a true entertainer’s delight.
The home also features a two car garage. The property’s vantage point offers beautiful views to the west that provide spectacular sunsets. Just minutes from the increasingly upscale shops and restaurants of Ventura Blvd, a Whole Foods, and the Arclight and Sherman Oaks Galleria, with easy access to the luxury of the Westside, it’s becoming a location that’s hard to beat.
Located at 15471 Briarwood Dr, Sherman Oaks. Listing courtesy of Coldwell Banker and Mary Swanson.
