About This Home
As of December 2024Welcome to your private sanctuary! This enchanting 3 bd, 2 ba, 2-story Artist Home, nestled in a highly desirable pocket of Van Nuys, offers a luminous and spacious retreat designed to inspire and rejuvenate. Situated on a beautifully landscaped corner lot, this residence combines a boho-eclectic charm with modern comforts. Step inside to discover a grand living room adorned with gleaming hardwood floors, a beamed vaulted ceiling, and a striking stone fireplace. Plantation shutters frame the windows, adding a touch of elegance. The open layout seamlessly flows into a formal dining area and a large family room. The spacious updated kitchen is a culinary delight, featuring stainless steel appliances, cement floors, ample storage & counter space, and a breakfast nook overlooking the lush backyard. One bedroom upstairs offers views on the pool while the other has views on the mountains. Outside, a sparkling pool with a removable fence is the centerpiece of the expansive, private yard with fully established drought-tolerant plants. Enjoy leisurely afternoons on the covered patio, design your dream vegetable garden in the different planters or pick fresh fruits (oranges and figs) from the mature trees. Additional features include an attached toolshed, a convenient storage/workshop and a converted garage (around 500 additional sqft), now a large 3rd bedroom. Located just 15 minutes from Universal Studios and Hollywood, and 35 minutes from the beach, this home while needing some TLC, offers a perfect blend of tranquility and accessibility.
