About This Home
As of October 2025Welcome to this beautifully maintained Northridge home, offering exceptional space, comfort, and quality. Featuring both a main floor master suite and an upstairs master suite, this home is perfect for flexible living arrangements or providing private guest quarters. Generously sized rooms and bathrooms throughout set this property apart, while neutral decor offers a timeless, move-in-ready backdrop.
You’ll love the craftsmanship throughout, including beautiful built-ins that add character, functionality, and a custom touch to the living spaces. Situated on a large corner lot with mature trees and established landscaping, the property offers privacy, shade, and a serene setting. The south-facing daylight basement brings in abundant natural light, making it feel bright and welcoming.
Notable features include a main floor office, main floor laundry, heated 3-car garage with 2 doors, epoxy floor, and floor drain. High-quality construction shines with steel siding, 2x6 framing, tray ceilings, and 9' high side walls. A brand-new roof installed in 2023 offers added peace of mind.
This standout home has been exceptionally cared for and was once occupied by Helen Hunt while filming the movie Twister! Call today to schedule your private showing!
