Property summary

Discover an enchanting mid-century ranch, nestled on a quiet street in the coveted Hillview Park Estates. This single-story, 5 bedroom, 3 bathroom home sits on an expansive lot of over 12,000 square feet. Clean architectural lines are complemented by thoughtful additions that expand the space for the needs of today. The well landscaped front yard makes a striking first impression, and creates year-round curb appeal. As you wind up a brick pathway past mature aloe plants, you'll enter the home to find a flagstone entryway, drenched in sunlight from the skylight overhead. Period details such as glass block accents and a built-in planter reflect the home's original character. To the left of the entry, you'll find a large room currently used as an office - perfect for remote work or as an additional bedroom. To the right, discover three spacious bedrooms, each with built-in closets and views of the luscious landscaping. Two of the bedrooms invite natural light through beautiful, corner windows, while the third features built-in shelving to showcase your most treasured belongings or favorite books. A linen closet can be found at the end of the hallway, while two full bathrooms serve the bedrooms and guests. The heart of the home is the sun-drenched living room, showcasing a full wall of windows, framing your view of the backyard. A character-rich fireplace anchors the space, as sunlight pours in through an oversized skylight. With direct access to the backyard and a seamless flow into the dining space, the living room is well positioned for entertaining, or enjoying quiet nights at home. The bright dining area enjoys some of the best views in the home, and adjoins the well-equipped kitchen, featuring quartz countertops, a breakfast bar, and stainless steel appliances. Off the kitchen, you'll discover a walk-in pantry and a charming breakfast nook, ideal for morning coffee. A built-in desk with storage rounds out a quiet corner of the kitchen. A second living room can be found off of the kitchen, complete with a private entrance and direct access to the backyard. This flexible space, with access to carport parking for four vehicles, can serve many purposes. The washer and dryer are tucked into a dedicated closet, while an adjacent bedroom with en-suite bathroom and walk-in closet allows for a separate guest suite or primary suite with optimal privacy. The set up of this second living room and bedroom at the rear of the home lends itself to a potential conversion to a junior ADU. Adding to the home's appeal is the breathtaking backyard paradise. Meandering pathways lined with colorful, low maintenance plants create intimate garden moments, while a meticulously designed labyrinth invites exploration and wonder. Mature trees offer shade and seasonal fruit, while succulents and flowering cacti create visual interest throughout. This magical outdoor sanctuary provides the perfect backdrop for entertaining or peaceful reflection, with hidden seating peppered throughout. A detached shed provides ample storage, while an attached workshop can be used for completing projects or storing garden supplies and tools. Situated in a highly sought-after neighborhood with permit parking, the property's location is truly exceptional. Striking the perfect balance between suburban tranquility and urban convenience, you can enjoy strolls around the tree-lined streets of the neighborhood, or through the beautiful grounds of the nearby college. On Sundays, you can visit the local Farmer's Market just moments away, or utilize the bike paths along the nearby Orange Line. Easily explore the shops and restaurants along Ventura Blvd and at the redeveloped Sportsmen's Lodge, including Sugar Fish, Roberta's, Uovo, Erewhon, and Equinox.
