Welcome to 5259 Vesper Avenue, a beautifully realized, nearly 2,700-square-foot sanctuary where sophisticated design meets effortless everyday living. The experience begins the moment you arrive, greeted by a custom-landscaped, drought-tolerant front yard that strikes the perfect balance between zen and curb appeal.

Inside, the formal entry opens to an expansive, cohesive living and dining space designed for seamless entertaining. Rich oak flooring runs underfoot, while a classic wood-burning fireplace and dramatic picture windows frame the room, flooding the space with natural light.

This culinary hub flows openly into the main family room, where a new French door system and walls of glass effortlessly pull the outside in. The main level is thoughtfully completed by a convenient downstairs bedroom and a beautifully tiled three-quarter bath—an ideal setup for out-of-town guests or a quiet, private workspace. Nearby, a dedicated laundry room leads to the oversized two-car garage, which hides a massive upstairs bonus area. Whether you envision a professional-grade workshop, a massive storage zone, or a creative studio, this bonus space offers the kind of versatility modern buyers crave. Upstairs, the premium wood flooring continues through three additional bedrooms. Two sunlit bedrooms share a beautifully appointed hall bath, while the primary retreat stands as its own palatial wing. Generous enough to easily accommodate a full seating area and media setup, this private oasis is complemented by a spa-like bath featuring a dual-sink vanity, a separate shower, a deep soaking tub, and an expansive walk-in closet. The seamless flow culminates in the backyard, a low-maintenance sanctuary designed for both lively hosting and peaceful unwinding. A large covered pergola sets the stage for unforgettable alfresco dining, while a pristine turfed lawn provides the perfect, worry-free playground for kids or pets. Framed by mature ficus trees for ultimate privacy, this versatile property offers a rare combination of space, style, and lock-and-leave convenience that truly must be experienced in person.

SOLD for Full Price!

Thrilled for one of my all-time favorite clients and the success we achieved in the sale of their home in Studio City 🏠

To be honest, I had mixed emotions when they called to tell me they were leaving to go back to Australia so soon, as I would have much preferred they stay here in LA.

Facing a challenging market, we spiffed up the house for sale (the sellers already had great taste ✨), got our marketing out, and found a wonderful buyer in the community at their full asking price. Best of luck to you Dean, Pip, and the boys—I will come and visit you soon! 🏌️‍♂️🦘👋

Most sellers waste money fixing the wrong things before listing. 🏠

Here's exactly what we're doing to prepare this Sherman Oaks mid-century home for sale — and why we're skipping the full kitchen and bathroom remodel entirely.

Every dollar is going toward the fixes that actually move the needle at closing. Lighting. Paint. Curb appeal. The stuff buyers notice first.

Watch the full pre-sale makeover plan and see exactly what we're fixing, what we're leaving alone, and why 👇

From 1954 Ranch to Hollywood Masterpiece ✨

Modern architecture often lacks soul, but 3721 Woodcliff Avenue is the exception. Originally a modest mid-century ranch, the Dominique Cohen Collective has reimagined this space into a 3,400-square-foot modern masterpiece. Positioned south of the boulevard near Mulholland’s premier schools, the design balances rigorous sophistication with organic warmth—anchored by wide-plank oak floors and a double-sided Italian marble fireplace. The floor plan serves as a masterclass in fluidity. Fleetwood pocket doors disappear to merge the interior with an ultra-private sanctuary of mature olive groves and Mexican feather grass. With no rear neighbors, the grounds offer total seclusion, from the custom-tiled swimmer’s pool to the primary suite’s hidden wellness oasis.

The Highlights:

🍷 Epicurean Hub: Massive center island, custom cabinetry, and a double wine fridge.
🌿 Wellness Wing: Primary suite with a spa bath fire feature and a private outdoor soaking tub.
🏊 Curated Grounds: Absolute privacy, olive groves, and an elevated fire pit area
📐 Design Integrity: Seamless indoor-outdoor flow via floor-to-ceiling glass.
💼 Professional Versatility: A detached bonus suite ideal for a sophisticated home office.

Does this serve as your ultimate residence, or is that bonus suite the home office you’ve been looking for? 👇

Good luck finding this in Sherman Oaks for under $2M 🤯

Gated. Hedged in for total privacy. South of the boulevard on Valley Vista. And the inside looks like this — European oak floors, see-through fireplace, glass sliders opening onto a landscaped backyard with a stone fountain and pergola. Updated kitchen, mountain views out front, and a front yard that feels like a private sanctuary.
