13230 Hesby St

Set back on a quiet, tree-lined street in the coveted Hidden Woods pocket of Sherman Oaks, 13230 Hesby is a beautifully updated 5 bed/3 bath home that pairs timeless traditional character with a generous, flexible floor plan perfectly suited to modern life. Past the privacy wall, grand circular driveway, and elegant European-inspired facade, find yourself in a light-filled living space accented by large windows and warm original hardwood floors. The welcoming living room and sunny dining room lead to a recently renovated kitchen and enormous adjoining family room--perfectly suited as a den, office, playroom, formal dining room, or entertaining space. Renovated in 2023, the kitchen features stainless steel appliances, shaker cabinetry, farmhouse sink, large pantry, and eat-in breakfast area--and connects to a newly constructed laundry room off the attached garage. Two spacious bedrooms and a full bath on the first level offer flexibility for guests, home offices, or family living. Upstairs, three additional bedrooms and two bathrooms provide peaceful separation from the home's gathering spaces. The impressive primary suite is a retreat unto itself, with wood-beamed vaulted ceiling, cozy fireplace, private balcony, dual closets (including a sizable walk-in), and a spa-like ensuite bathroom featuring jetted soaking tub, frameless fiberglass shower with rain shower head, and glass block window that lets in soft natural light while maintaining privacy. French doors off the living room open straight onto a backyard built for entertaining and enjoying LA's indoor/outdoor lifestyle. Dine al fresco with friends and family under the canopy of mature trees beside an elegant water feature, then head across the charming footbridge past tropical greenery to a large turfed lawn--plenty of room to play, relax, and sun (and enjoy the mature lemons and oranges on the property). Extensively updated over the years, the home features newer dual-zone HVAC systems, a newer roof, two-car garage + storage bay, and numerous additional improvements that make day-to-day living effortless. Formerly celebrity owned and just minutes from shopping and dining on Ventura Blvd., Westfield Fashion Square, Notre Dame High School, Riverside Charter Elementary School, and the 101 freeway, you're close enough to everything Sherman Oaks has to offer, yet secluded enough to forget it's all moments away. In a neighborhood where homes are often held for decades, 13230 Hesby is an exceptional opportunity to plant roots and grow in one of Sherman Oaks' most cherished and sought-after enclaves.
