8660 Apperson St, Sunland, CA 91040

Tucked out of sight on over an acre of land bordering Shadow Hills, this 1935 estate feels like its own private world - layered, unexpected, and full of character. The grounds unfold in all directions, with a guest house, pool and spa, two-story garage, mature gardens, and even a stone chapel - each space offering something different to explore and make your own. Beyond the front gate at the street, a long, winding drive builds anticipation before revealing the house perched above, welcoming you to its stone porch and sunlit patio. Inside, the 4,301 sq ft main home retains its character with wood-beamed ceilings, stone and hardwood floors, wrought iron details, thoughtfully crafted built-ins and intimate seating nooks. Just off the kitchen, a wood-and-stone bar room feels like a hidden bonus space you didn't know you needed. The main level blends formal and relaxed living, with a bright living room, tiled family room, and formal dining space that flows into the kitchen, pantry, and laundry. A large bathroom off the living room is convenient for guests, and the additional bedroom and bath on this floor - likely used originally as a maid's quarters - adds more flexibility. Upstairs, the layout opens up with three more secondary bedrooms, a hall bath, sunroom, and a primary suite with fireplace seating area and a one-of-a-kind stained-glass dressing space - once used as an indoor chapel. The second floor offers plenty of room to reimagine: studio, office, library, or whatever fits your life, with mountain views as the backdrop. Outside, the grounds are designed for both entertaining and retreat. Lounge by the pool and spa, host dinners under the olive grove, set up a game on the sport court, or carve out your own creative corners across the patios and terraces. The detached 465 sq ft guest house is ideal for guests, multigenerational living, a home office, artistic space, recording studio, or future income potential. This is an incredibly unique, character-rich property with space to live, create, and grow into. Come experience a home that gives you room for a little more freedom and individuality.
