William Mellenthin’s “story-and-a-half” located in the coveted North Hidden Woods of Sherman Oaks and resting on a sprawling 8,650-square-foot lot offering the perfect balance of quality mid-century architecture and location. If the classic facade looks familiar, it is because this home was featured in the hit series Parks and Recreation. Beyond its Hollywood pedigree, this property defines the classic Mellenthin aesthetic. Positioned in a quiet, highly desirable pocket neighborhood featuring only two entrances and eight peaceful cul-de-sacs, the home boasts incredible curb appeal and charm you can’t duplicate. As one of Mellenthin’s most beautiful models designed for a wide lot, the ranch-style exterior features his signature diamond-pane windows and an impressive front elevation. Inside, the home opens to a spectacular great room filled with natural light from a floor-to-ceiling picture window. Soaring open-beam wood ceilings, warm wood paneling, a wooden staircase with original black wrought iron railing, and an impressive brick fireplace create a truly inviting living space. The spacious formal dining room sits adjacent to the great room, establishing an ideal layout for entertaining. The main level also includes a clean, functional kitchen with an eat-in breakfast area, a dedicated service porch with laundry, and a private guest suite with a three-quarter bath perfect for visitors or a quiet home office. Beyond the kitchen lies the ultimate den, featuring a second brick fireplace, wood paneling, a vintage bar, and large glass sliders that open directly to the impressive backyard. Upstairs, you will find two spacious bedrooms, one with lovely built-ins, and the primary bedroom with wood beam detail and diamond pane windows showcasing lovely greenery, both sharing a vintage tiled bath awaiting your personal touch. Framed by mature podocarpus and pine trees, the large backyard is designed for outdoor living, offering a covered patio for al fresco dining, a sparkling swimming pool, and ample lawn space. This is a rare opportunity to own a wonderful home in a premier Sherman Oaks location, move right in and fix over time, or remodel the entire space for your dream residence. Come check out 13155 Margate Street, you will be glad you did.
