3450 Castlewoods PL Sherman Oaks CA 91403 MLS #26828809

This contemporary residence, previously redesigned by Gus Duffy, offers a masterclass in sophisticated California living. Perched on a premier cul-de-sac south of Ventura Boulevard, the home welcomes you through a grand double-door entry into an expansive, open-concept floor plan. At its heart, a sunken living room with a stately fireplace and custom built-ins flows seamlessly into a reimagined chef’s kitchen. This culinary showpiece is anchored by a massive 14-foot Quartzite island, sleek cabinetry, and a built-in wine fridge, balancing high-end functionality with a warm, welcoming atmosphere. The architecture masterfully dissolves the boundaries between indoors and out, using walls of glass to frame a sparkling,g heated pool nestled against a lush, private hillside. The home’s versatile layout is designed for both grand entertaining and quiet retreats, featuring formal living and dining rooms, a cozy media den, and a convenient main-level guest suite. Upstairs, the primary suite serves as a true sanctuary, boasting vaulted ceilings, dressing areas with custom built-ins, and a private terrace overlooking the pool. In addition to the generously sized bedroom, a loft/office space, and a third bedroom, all enjoy serene, distant mountain views. Beyond its designer interiors, this estate offers an unbeatable “location-first” lifestyle. With immediate access to the 101 and 405 freeways, you are minutes from UCLA and the Westside, and within a 10-mile radius of Warner Bros., ABC, and Universal Studios. Representing an unrivaled value at an exceptional price per square foot, this turnkey oasis is a rare opportunity to secure a sophisticated lifestyle in one of the Valley’s most sought-after neighborhoods.
