About This Home

As of May 2025

It's all about the possibilities and 5229 Pizzo Ranch Road is that and more. Sitting in coveted La Canada, this one owner home is on the market for the first time in 64 years. The Pizzo cul-de-sac came into existence in 1951 when Louis Pizzo purchased the acreage, subdivided it into 11 lots and gave each of his children a lot to build their own homes. This home is one of the last two homes still in the Pizzo family. The 2259 sq ft main house was built in 1961 and offers mid-century lines and gracious entertaining spaces. In the early 1970's, the property expanded to include a separate 720 sq ft, 2 story guest house that sits at the back of the property. The 2 buildings (totaling 2979 sq ft) are on a mostly flat 16,276 sq ft lot. The main house has 3 baths with 4 bedrooms that offer endless flexibility as an in-house office, nursery, a combined bedroom/playroom, or yoga/exercise space. The open concept kitchen, dining and family room provides space for easy entertaining with plenty of kitchen prep space and elbow room, and a large fireplace with cozy hearth seating. Just outside the kitchen and family room is a 312 sq ft covered patio, offering even more opportunities to entertain, relax and enjoy your morning coffee or quiet evening dinners. The living room has two large picture windows, the home's second fireplace and a 60's style lit ceiling. The icing on the cake is the guest house that is separated from the main house by a large, tiered lawn and fruit trees. The guest house offers 1 bath, a loft bedroom, and an open concept kitchen, dining and living room. What would your ideal use of the guest house be? Rental income, home office, music or art studio or mother-in-law space? Buyer's choice! The potential to update, remodel, add a pool or even expand this property is at the next owners' fingertips. This property is not to be missed, and buyers will find that 5229 Pizzo Ranch Road is truly all about the possibilities.
