For $1.5M, a stylish midcentury in the hills of Sherman Oaks

Turning lots of heads in Sherman Oaks this week is a souped-up midcentury located in the hills north of Mulholland Drive.

Measuring 2,194 square feet and built in 1955, the three-bedroom, two-bath home has the classic midcentury modern traits of an open plan, beamed ceilings, sliding glass walls, and clean lines, though its kitchen and baths have been modernized.

Other notable features include built-in bookshelves, a brick fireplace, a bar, a two-car garage, and a swimming pool shaped like a piano, inspired, perhaps, by the famed piano-shaped pool at Liberace’s former home, just about a mile away.

On an 8,987-square-foot lot, the property is listed with an asking price of $1.495 million.
