About This Home

As of October 2025

This bright and beautiful Spanish-style home sits on a corner lot north of Kenneth Road, nestled in the foothills of Burbank. It has been freshly painted and offers 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, and an office. The open-concept living and dining areas flow into a cook's kitchen, which features Caesarstone and butcher-block countertops, ample storage, and access to an intimate backyard perfect for entertaining. On the first floor, you'll find one bedroom, a full bathroom, and a versatile office or flex space. Upstairs, the primary suite enjoys views of the surrounding hills. Also located on the second floor are an additional bedroom, a 3/4 bath, a convenient laundry area, and a balcony. The outdoor spaces are thoughtfully designed with drought-tolerant landscaping and several mature fruit trees. A detached garage provides parking for one car or can be used as additional flex space. Also included are a tankless water heater, auto-timer drip irrigation system, and fenced in rear yard. Recent improvements include a new 2 zone heat pump HVAC system in 2024, and recent sewer line upgrades and replacement of the roof underlayment. The property is located near major studios, parks, trails, schools, shopping, and entertainment.
