3860 Kingswood Road, Sherman Oaks, CA 91403

Surrounded by distinguished estate properties in one of Sherman Oaks’ most sought-after enclaves, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a comprehensively reimagined architectural retreat on an extraordinary approximately 56,579 SF (1.3-acre) parcel offering privacy, exceptional design, and enduring value. Whether enjoyed today as a move-in ready luxury residence or held as a significant land investment within an enclave of premier estates, the property offers remarkable flexibility in a setting where opportunities of this scale are increasingly rare. Set behind gates beneath a canopy of mature oak trees on a peaceful cul-de-sac, the property was conceived as a thoughtful reinvention of its site. Rather than demolish the existing structure, its footprint was retained while the interior and exterior were comprehensively reconstructed into an entirely new residence. This approach reflected a commitment to environmental responsibility while creating a home designed to live in harmony with its natural surroundings. Designed by Chris Salay, the residence blends Japanese and Scandinavian influences with warm, organic materials. Siberian larch was selected for its exceptional durability, with the exterior stained to evoke the appearance of Shou Sugi Ban while the interior remains natural for warmth and texture. The architecture complements the surrounding landscape, creating seamless indoor-outdoor living. Soaring ceilings, a custom slate fireplace, integrated built-ins, and expansive living spaces define the home’s contemporary design. The chef’s kitchen features Wolf and Gaggenau appliances, a built-in Jenn-Air refrigerator, Walker Zanger Antique Noir limestone countertops, and custom Abet Laminati cabinetry. The primary suite offers a fireplace, custom rift white oak walk-in closet, private patio and deck, and a spa-inspired bath with Boffi fixtures, honed slate, and a sculptural travertine soaking tub.Additional amenities include zoned Carrier HVAC, integrated Fittes vents, multiple tankless water heaters, smart home and security systems, a saline plunge pool, steam shower, fire pit, and multiple outdoor entertaining areas. The result is a residence defined by enduring craftsmanship, and a sustainable approach to rebuilding, with materials intentionally selected for their character and longevity. Previous owner allegedly died in the house in 2020. Seller is involved in pending litigation due to non disclosure that does not affect title to the property. Buyers are encouraged to conduct their own independent investigations regarding any matters material to their purchase decision.
