Located on a quiet cul-de-sac nearby local schools, parks, and numerous hiking/biking trails, this inviting home proves the adage that location is everything. Set in an established neighborhood with sidewalks and mature trees, the home offers a turnkey interior with attractive hardwood and tile floors, a resort-like backyard with a pool, and peaceful area views. Built in 1949 and refined by the current owner of 30 years, the home combines modern amenities with classic architectural features, including arched doorways, built-in shelving and crown moldings. A living room with a fireplace and a separate dining room create a relaxing venue for formal occasions; a main floor bedroom/office that opens to the backyard adds functionality. The family room is a focal point, as it has vaulted hardwood ceilings, a fireplace and French doors that connect to the outdoor living areas. Showcasing the latest technology and style, the kitchen boasts quartz countertops, recessed lighting, open shelves and a stone backsplash. White custom cabinets, some with glass insets, and modern Stainless Steel appliances, including a gas range, add to the appeal. The well-conceived floor plan is further enhanced by dual primary suites, one of which features a retreat and a spacious covered balcony with views. The main primary suite bathroom has intricate custom tile, Pebble stone, a wall of custom cabinets and large skylights, making it a cheerful place to start the day. With an expansive tile patio, a large pergola that is attached to the home, mature landscaping and a built-in bar area, the secluded backyard is a beautiful extension of the living space. Other features include walk-in closets, high ceilings, solar panels, water softening system and an attached two car garage. Situated in close proximity to what may be the best hiking/biking trails in LA County, in a sought-after neighborhood that offers easy access to shops, golf courses and restaurants, this is the ultimate legacy property.
