Now offered at $3,495,000. With tons of space, a winning floor plan, a beautiful backyard and a premier South of the Blvd location that feels tucked away but close to everything, 14985 Valley Vista gets the big things right. Set back from the street in one of the Valley's most sought-after neighborhoods, you'll find nearly 4,700 square feet, 5 bedrooms and the kind of four-up/one-down layout that can feel impossible to find. The rooms are generous without feeling cavernous, and there's space to entertain, work from home, have guests stay over and still let everyone spread out. A dramatic two-story entry opens to warm wide-plank hardwood floors and large, comfortable living spaces. The hub of the home is the kitchen and open family room, with the kind of welcoming feel that makes you want to pull up a chair and stay awhile. The kitchen has a center island with a sweet breakfast bar, stainless steel appliances including double ovens and a Sub-Zero, another fun bar/hangout space, and an easy connection to the adjoining rooms and backyard. There's also a formal dining room, living room with fireplace and an office off the primary suite, giving the house plenty of flexibility without ever feeling choppy. Upstairs, four bedrooms are all where you want them. The oversized primary suite feels like a retreat, with a sitting area, double-sided fireplace, expansive bath and two huge walk-in closets. Two additional bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill bath, another is ensuite, and the laundry room is conveniently located upstairs. Downstairs, the fifth bedroom and bath are ideal for guests, extended family, live-in help or a second workspace. And then there's the backyard. The redesigned pool and spa are surrounded by spaces for dining, lounging, entertaining or just spending a quiet afternoon outside. There's an outdoor shower, projector screen, low-maintenance landscaping and fruit trees. Solar panels, Tesla charging, a three-car garage, circular driveway and plenty of off-street parking make this such an easy house to enjoy. And the location really completes the picture. All the restaurants, cafes and shops along Ventura Boulevard are just minutes away, while the house itself feels private, peaceful and away from the hustle and bustle. It's the best of both worlds: room to really spread out, an easy everyday lifestyle, and one of those Sherman Oaks neighborhoods that just feels good to come home to.
