Sherman Oaks, CA 91403

It's Leap Year and 14962 Jadestone Drive is a leap forward in mid-century architecture redesigned for the way we live today. Originally built in 1955 during the zenith of the modern movement, this residence stands as a timeless icon of its era. Following a meticulous renovation spanning over two years, the home emerged anew, seamlessly blending its historic roots with contemporary luxuries and amenities. Stepping through the doors of the 3BR/3BA 2,008 sq.ft. main house, guests are transported to a time of refined, procured elegance. With its post-and-beam framing, the home exudes a sense of vaulted sophistication. Within, tailor-made elements abound, each meticulously curated to reflect the essence of highly desired aesthetics. Custom interior LED cove lighting bathes the living spaces in a soft, ambient glow, reminiscent of an historic affinity for warm, inviting atmospheres. Flush porcelain baseboards and truly frameless shower glass epitomize the pursuit of minimalist design, characteristic of the 1950's ethos of simplicity and clean lines. The integration of invisible shower drains, and radiant heat floors seamlessly marries form and function, paying homage to both style and practicality. The kitchen, a focal point of the home, showcases white gold Calacatta quartz countertops, a nod to opulence and luxury. Panoramic sliding, pivoting, and collapsing doors and windows effortlessly blur the boundaries between indoor and outdoor living, inviting residents to commune with nature just as famed mid-century architects intended. Outside, a symphony of design elements awaits, echoing the principles of a bygone age of landscape architecture. The multi-tiered pool and spa, adorned with Greek herringbone and rectangular white tile, showcase a reverence for geometric patterns and organic forms. Engineered retaining walls and lush Ficus plantings ensure privacy without compromising the breathtaking panoramic city lights views that define the property. The auxiliary 612 sq.ft. 1BR/1BA A.D.U. seamlessly integrates with the main residence, embodying the spirit of functionality and innovation. The climate-controlled 411 sq.ft. two-car garage, outfitted with spray insulation and custom fire sprinklers, preserves the home's historic charm while embracing modern efficiency. At Jadestone, the legacy of innovation lives on, and is woven into every architectural detail and every choice. From the integration of brass inserts to the seamless transition between indoor and outdoor spaces, this residence stands as a testament to the enduring allure of the mid-century movement. Although its 12,426 lot evokes a feeling of seclusion - behind gates and secure walls and fences - the home is in close proximity to Ventura and Beverly Glen Boulevards, and to the 405 and 101 freeways.
