About This Home

As of July 2023

Welcome to this captivating two-story Spanish-style pool home located at the end of a double cul-de-sac in the coveted Patrician Hill Estates of Northridge. This five-bedroom residence embodies the elegance and charm of timeless Spanish elements and offers over 4,000 square feet of living space. Step inside, and you'll be greeted by the allure and warmth of hand-made Saltillo tile flooring, a grand lantern suspended over the foyer, and hand-troweled plaster walls throughout. The main floor encompasses a huge step-down living area with a vaulted ceiling and an open formal dining area. The thoughtfully designed kitchen is adorned with hand-painted tile countertops and features an indoor grill, a dining area overlooking the backyard, and an office nook. A cozy family room, graced with a full-sized wet bar and an Adobe-influenced fireplace, leads to a generously sized bonus room with endless possibilities for a home theater, game room, or personal sanctuary; let your imagination run wild. A first-floor bedroom and laundry area, tucked away from the main living areas, are near the three-car garage and allow privacy for guests. Ascending the custom staircase with vibrant hand-painted tile risers, you'll discover a stunning leaded glass window over the entry. The sparkly light coming through this window is truly magical, especially at sunset. The spacious primary suite offers a large walk-in closet outfitted with built-in shelving and an additional closet with mirrored sliders and a seated make-up vanity. The primary bathroom features a bidet, an oversized jetted tub, and a steam shower. Additionally, three generously sized bedrooms are on the second floor, each with attached bathrooms. Embrace the California lifestyle under the sprawling covered patio overlooking the massive backyard with a large pool, spa, and fountain. A fenced-in sport court provides the ideal setting for a friendly basketball, racquetball, or squash game. This lovingly cared-for property is close to shopping, restaurants, and California State University Northridge, and awaits its next lucky owner!
