5114 Cedros Ave Sherman Oaks, CA 91403

There is something about a home that feels removed from the world, without being far from anything. At 5114 Cedros Ave, that feeling begins the moment the gates open. An expansive front lawn, motor court and mature trees create a beautiful sense of arrival. Beyond the greenery, the home's architecture emerges quietly, its warm wood exterior blending with the surrounding landscape. Nothing feels forced. Everything feels thoughtfully placed. Inside, soaring entry ceilings set the tone. Warm wood floors, steel framed glass and natural materials give the interiors a richness that feels inviting rather than formal. In the kitchen, the materials do the talking. The dramatic movement of Viola Calacatta Monet marble finds balance against custom wood cabinetry. Morning sunlight enters from the east. By evening, the western exposure brings a softer glow. The home changes with the light. 3,045 square feet unfolds across four bedrooms and four bathrooms, including a downstairs ensuite bedroom with direct backyard access. Upstairs, the primary suite is a retreat of its own, with a sleek fireplace, expansive custom closet and a bath layered in Viola marble, handcrafted Zia tile and designer finishes. Throughout, stone, wood and glass speak the same quiet design language. Control4 automation and integrated security add modern convenience without disturbing the atmosphere. Perhaps what makes Cedros most compelling is the way it lives outdoors. There isn't simply a backyard. There are two different settings to enjoy. In front, a gated, usable lawn framed by mature foliage offers room to play, gather or enjoy the open space. Behind the home, the atmosphere shifts. A stone wrapped pool and spa, covered cabana and fully equipped outdoor kitchen create a private resort like setting surrounded by greenery. Peaceful afternoons by the water. Dinner beneath the cabana. Evenings that stretch a little longer. A fully built out garage adds versatility. Minutes from Ventura Boulevard's restaurants and shops, with Kester Magnet School and a neighborhood park nearby, Cedros offers the convenience of Sherman Oaks with the feeling of a private retreat. And that's what makes this home special. Not any single finish or feature, but the way everything comes together. The architecture. The greenery. The California light. The freedom to move between indoors and out. A home that feels as good to live in as it does to look at.
