5521 Van Noord Avenue

Stroll down one of Sherman Oak's most enchanting avenues and you'll find a 5BR/4.5BA 2,517 sq.ft. residence that provides multiple options of how to live and thrive. Want to talk flow? This home's gleaming hardwood floors will have you gliding from its living room (with fireplace) to the dining area (with its backyard… access) like you're on "Dancing with the Stars." Working remotely? Boom, this flow's got your back with a versatile bedroom which could be gym, baby's, meditation, or Zoom chamber. Got generations under one roof? No problem, this house practically invented multi-level, multi-generational living. Its ground floor has more sleeping options than a Hitchcock movie has plot twists - three - plus a converted garage; 400 additional finished sq.ft. to be used to your liking, including a dedicated bathroom as well as French doors to a backyard patio. Take it up a notch - or a flight of stairs - to the big kahuna of primary bedrooms. Vaulted ceilings, a slider leading to a balcony with views, and a spa-like bathroom, complete with dual sinks, jetted tub, and step-in shower. And hard to miss the walk-in closet with its built-ins for wardrobe essentials. Back downstairs is the home's piece de resistance, its gourmet kitchen. We're talking granite and stainless-steel nirvana: A gas-powered top-of-the-line Wolf 6-burner range/oven/hood, a separate electric oven (also Wolf), SubZero refrigerator, and TK dishwasher. There's even an extra fridge in the extra-large 10 ft. x 11 ft. laundry room. Keep it clean in here with side-by-side machines, another sink, and plenty of extra storage and folding space. And speaking of space, the backyard is a lush, green oasis where time bends to your will. Say "yes!" to year-round parties. Chill on the covered patio and watch hummingbirds put on a show worthy of Broadway. And let animal (and/or human) companions loose in the grassy yard or on uncovered patios. And if you still need more storage, a custom shed has it covered - literally. This residence is a symphony of style, comfort, and pure unadulterated potential. The question isn't if you're gonna grab this opportunity, it's when. Don't be the one telling stories about the house on Van Noord that got away. Read More
