Description

Nestled along a serene, tree-lined street within one of Van Nuys / Sherman Oaks's most established residential corridors, this rare two-home compound rests on a generous 6,722-square-foot lot and offering 2,273 square feet of living space giving something increasingly elusive in today's Los Angeles market: meaningful land, genuine flexibility, and uncommon optionality. Welcome to 15031 & 15033 Hartland Street, thoughtfully designed with each home stands fully independent with its own dedicated entrance, separate gas and electric meters, private yard, and ample parking affording maximum comfort, complete privacy, and effortless versatility regardless of the arrangement chosen. Imagine moving parents into the gracious, single-story front residence wholly stair-free and effortlessly accessible while you and your family settle into the spacious three-bedroom, three-bath Accessory Dwelling Unit behind. Live quietly in the charming front home with its warm fireplace and dedicated dining room while the contemporary ADU generates rental income that nearly covers the mortgage or reverse the configuration entirely. The original 1949 residence reflects the post-war California Traditional Ranch typology that defined Hartland Street's earliest generation with the front home offering 891 sq ft with two (2) bedrooms, one (1) bath, and an attached two-car garage. A spacious living room with charming gas fireplace opens to a dedicated dining area and separate kitchen, preserving the gracious indoor-outdoor flow that distinguished Valley single-story architecture of the era. Behind the main home stands the property's defining feature of a 1,382-square-foot contemporary ADU completed in 2020. This two-story residence opens to a first-floor primary suite for easy accessibility, joined by two (2) additional spacious bedrooms and three (3) bathrooms across an open floor plan that flows seamlessly through the family room, kitchen, and dining areas. The kitchen is finished with white soft-close shaker cabinets, quartz countertops, and full stainless steel appliances. Wide-plank laminate flooring runs throughout, and bathrooms feature quartz vanities and tiled showers. Central heat and air, indoor laundry hookups with stackable washer and dryer, and tankless water heaters complete a residence. Alley access to the rear ADU unit is secured by a remote-controlled gate, and parking accommodates up to two (2) additional vehicles beyond the two-car attached garage to the front house. Hartland Street has long been one of the SFV's quietly held secrets centrally located, established, and increasingly favored by multi-generational families, entertainment-industry professionals, and those drawn to the rhythm of village-style neighborhoods within the larger city. With a Walk Score of 71, the property places its residents within minutes of Jons Market, Starbucks, CVS, Chase, and several local boutiques without ever crossing a major street. Victory Caff sits just a brief stroll away. Mariscos Corona, Dan's Kitchen, Kinnara, Mr. Pizza, and Bocha for craft ice cream are all within a short stroll. Lake Balboa Park offers a lakeside loop for strolling, biking, and running, while VNSO Park hosts family-friendly community events throughout the year. Ten minutes south reaches the full Sherman Oaks and Studio City corridor, where The Shops at Sportsmen's Lodge anchors the Erewhon, Equinox and Reformation set, and Augustine Wine Bar and Buvette quietly define the evenings along Ventura Blvd. MacLeod Ale, the celebrated local brewery known for British-style beers, artisanal pizza, and live local bands, has been a weekly Date Night tradition for the current owners. Warner Bros, Disney, Universal, and NBCU are all an easy commutes, and construction is underway to expand regional transit linking the Westside and Pasadena directly to Van Nuys.
