Tucked behind secure gates, this sun-filled single-story residence offers over 1,700 square feet of thoughtfully reimagined living space with three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a seamless open-concept floor plan designed for modern living. Every detail has been elevated with high-end upgrades throughout. The chef's kitchen is a true showpiece, featuring new stainless-steel appliances, a rare wood-block countertop with a farmhouse sink, sleek engineered marble countertops, a custom tile backsplash, and Grohe fixtures. The heart of the home centers around a dramatic, 360-degree architectural fireplace, a stunning focal point visible from the kitchen, dining area, and expansive family room creating the perfect ambiance for entertaining or cozy nights in. Both bathrooms showcase exceptional craftsmanship with custom tilework, Pental quartz (Carrara marble-style) countertops, and full-size vanities. The primary suite offers a spa-like retreat with dual sinks, a large soaking tub, and direct access to the backyard creating a seamless indoor-outdoor connection ideal for morning coffee or evening relaxation. A built-in linen station with quartz counters anchors the bedroom wing, while the exterior impresses with a beautifully landscaped front lawn enclosed by a wrought-iron fence for privacy and security. The private backyard provides generous space to create a resort-style pool and spa, or to add a custom ADU or guest house (subject to city approval) ideal for additional income, guests, or extended family stays. A large Tuff Shed provides extra storage, while tall hedges create a private, resort-like setting. Perfectly situated close to the well-regarded CSUN campus and within minutes of Costco, Target, Northridge Fashion Center, and an array of dining options, this home captures the essence of the sought-after California lifestyle.
