5234 Tampa Ave, Tarzana, CA 91356

Nestled in the heart of Tarzana, just south of Ventura Blvd, this 5-bedroom, 4-bathroom Ranch-style pool home is a rare gem - lovingly maintained by the same family for nearly 40 years. Tucked behind a white picket fence, it offers the perfect blend of open-concept living, comfort, and incredible indoor-outdoor entertaining. Step inside this 1956 beauty and discover a cozy living room with beamed ceilings, a brick fireplace, and rich hardwood floors throughout. The oversized formal dining room, bathed in natural light from multiple exposures, easily accommodates dinner parties of eight guests or more, with views of the lush, park-like backyard and pool. The heart of the home is a gourmet eat-in kitchen featuring granite countertops, high-end appliances, and custom cabinetry with abundant storage. Just off the kitchen, a spacious family room with pitched, beamed ceilings is flanked by glass sliding doors on both sides, creating seamless flow to the expansive outdoor living areas. Positioned behind the family room is a versatile guest suite with its own full bathroom- ideal for multigenerational living - along with a dedicated laundry room with side-by-side washer and dryer, and direct access to the two-car garage. On the opposite side of the home, the primary suite offers a peaceful retreat with a large walk-in closet and a spa-like en suite bathroom featuring a soaking tub. Two additional generously sized bedrooms share a full Jack-and-Jill bathroom with both a separate shower and tub. A charming fifth bedroom, currently used as an office, plus an additional full bathroom in the hallway, completes this enviable floorplan. Outside, the expansive backyard (nearly 20,000 SF) is a private oasis - fully enclosed by mature trees and hedges. At the far end of the yard, you'll discover an oversized, gated pool and spa with a generous shallow area, perfect for kids to splash and play all summer long. An outdoor kitchen with built-in storage, multiple covered dining and lounging areas, and ample room for a basketball hoop or pickleball court complete this entertainer's dream yard. Additional highlights include new designer lighting, new carpeting in primary closet, fresh interior painting, a two-car garage with an EV charger, and a location just moments from some of the San Fernando Valley's best restaurants and shops such as Scratch Bar & Kitchen, Taj Mahal, Cici's Cafe, Asal Bakery, The Brothers Sushi, Casalena, Sadaf, Borekas Sephardic Pastries, Anajak Thai Cuisine, and Osteria La Buca. This special enchanting Tarzana retreat offers space, privacy, and style in one of the Valley's most desirable pockets. 2011 panels will be owned by the owner in 2031. The second group of panels can be purchased for $2700 in 2046. There are monthly payments of $127.81 and $171.50.
