About This Home

As of November 2019

Location, Location, Location! Located on one of the most desirable streets in the coveted Vista De Oro community within Woodland Hills. Rarely is there an offering like this one! This special home has a flat, huge, usable lot of over 17,000 square feet per tax assessor, with most in the backyard, a finished two-car attached garage with direct access to inside the home through the kitchen. A traditional ranch-style one-story home features four bedrooms (one was being used as an office and the closet was removed), two-and-a-half bathrooms, family room, generous eating area, dual-paned windows and sliding glass doors, central refrigerated air and heat, a fireplace, spa, koi pond and so much charm. There are real wood floors and some upgrades too. With lots of natural light throughout and a wraparound back porch/deck/patio for indoor-outdoor living, you won't want to miss this one. It's truly special; you won't want to leave!
