Single-story 3-bedroom, 2-bath residence in the heart of Valley Glen, offering a distinctive blend of character and comfort in one of the central San Fernando Valley’s most established residential neighborhoods. Freshened up and move-in ready, this home also presents an excellent opportunity for a buyer to tailor the interiors over time to suit more contemporary tastes. A pergola-covered front walk and double-door entry lead inside to dramatic vaulted, wood-beamed ceilings, skylights, and an airy layout that connects both formal and informal living spaces. The formal living room is anchored by a large, commanding brick fireplace with raised hearth, creating a striking focal point, while the separate informal living room opens to both an enclosed patio and side patio, offering flexibility for everyday living or entertaining. At the center of the home, an open courtyard with wood slat decking and sliding door access from both the kitchen and informal living room creates a rare indoor-outdoor element with tremendous potential. The kitchen becomes the heart of the home, with granite counters and backsplash, ample cabinetry, recessed lighting, a tray ceiling, and direct access to the courtyard, with the dining area nearby framed by a large picture window overlooking the yard. Down the hall, the primary suite includes mirrored closets, direct backyard access, and en-suite bath with dual vanities, and an updated tiled shower. The sizable secondary bedrooms share a full hall bath, creating a functional layout for family, guests, or workspace needs. Outside the versatile yard includes a large pergola-covered rear patio with ceiling fans, built-in BBQ/outdoor kitchen, in-ground spa, grassy lawn and mature landscaping for privacy. Attached 2-car garage with storage and laundry hookups. Property boasts Solar panels, whole-house battery backup, and owned water softener! Well situated near shopping, dining, parks, and commuter routes, this is a property with warmth, presence, and room to make it your own. Don’t miss out!
