Description
This single-story home in West Simi Valley is set along a cul-de-sac street and offers a front yard view of Mt. McCoy, surrounded by established homes on larger lots. Offering 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and approximately 1,268 sq. ft. of living space on an 11,325 sq. ft. lot, the property provides a comfortable and functional layout. Curb appeal begins with a large shade tree, mature landscaping, and an extra-wide driveway leading to the 2-car garage with roll-up door and windows. Wood accents and an etched glass front door add character to the exterior. Inside, wood-like laminate flooring runs through most of the home, complemented by detailed wood millwork including wainscoting, crown molding, baseboards, and wood window casings. Centered around a rock-front gas fireplace with a custom wood mantle, the living room also features a skylight and ceiling fan for added light and comfort. A pass-through connects the dining area to the living room, creating a functional layout. In the kitchen, Formica countertops, wood cabinetry, a breakfast bar, 4-burner gas cooktop, oven, dishwasher, and refrigerator provide everyday functionality. A garden window overlooks the front yard, and direct access to the garage adds convenience. Two secondary bedrooms include ceiling fans, mirrored closet doors, and a shared closet configuration between them, allowing flexibility for bedroom, office, or extended use. Nearby, the hall bathroom offers a single-sink vanity, crown molding, a tub/shower combination, and additional storage. Set toward the rear of the home, the primary bedroom features a sliding glass door to the backyard, mirrored closet, an additional closet, and an attached bathroom with a walk-in shower and glass doors, pedestal sink, and storage cabinetry. Additional functionality is found in the 2-car garage, which includes storage cabinets, washer and dryer, and a partially framed section that was previously used as a small bedroom or bonus space, along with direct access to the backyard. Outdoors, the backyard is spacious and full of character. A brick patio with a solid wood cover and ceiling fan creates a comfortable outdoor area, complemented by multiple sitting spaces, a wood gazebo, and a mature oak tree providing natural shade. A succulent garden, winding rock pathways, greenhouse, and a shed with a barn-style door, along with an additional storage shed and rain barrel, add both charm and utility. The size of the lot offers room to expand, garden, or reimagine the space. Improvements include a composition shingle roof installed at the end of 2015, newer central air conditioning unit, and dual-pane windows. A well-maintained home in a desirable West Simi Valley location, ready for its next chapter.
