Description
Welcome to a rare opportunity in the coveted Rancho Equestrian District--a home where timeless charm, thoughtful expansion, and modern luxury come together on a storybook, tree-lined street. Lovingly cared for and impeccably maintained, this residence has been tastefully renovated and reimagined while honoring its classic equestrian character. At the heart of the home is the show-stopping kitchen, fully expanded and renovated in 2024 with no expense spared. Custom white oak cabinetry from floor to ceiling, quartz countertops, Thermador 6-burner range, Bosch dishwasher, wine cooler, and soft ambient lighting create a space that is both beautiful and highly functional--designed for everyday living and effortless entertaining. The recently expanded primary suite is a true retreat, featuring direct access to the backyard, a walk-in closet, and a spa-like bathroom with a top-of-the-line Kohler bidet. The classic vaulted living room with a wood-burning fireplace, along with two additional bedrooms and a hall bathroom, offer flexibility and the opportunity to add personal touches, if desired. A rare and valuable bonus is the detached one-bedroom Carriage House, converted from the former stables and complete with a kitchenette and full bathroom (buyer to verify usage and permits). This versatile space is ideal as a guest residence, caretaker's cottage, or flexible living area. The main house offers 3 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms across more than 1,900 sqft, while the guest unit adds 400 sqft, bringing the total living space to approximately 2,300 sqft. Located within the highly regarded Burbank School District and moments from Disney, Warner Bros., major studio lots, the equestrian center, and LILA International School, the setting is as desirable as the home itself. Curb appeal shines with a circular driveway and charming front porch accented by a large picture window. The backyard invites relaxation and entertaining with a covered patio, outdoor fireplace, grassy yard, and a beautifully maintained pool--re-tiled and refinished in 2025. Additional highlights include a large laundry room, attached garage, and tankless water heater.This is more than a home--it's a lifestyle, and a rare opportunity to own something truly special in one of Burbank's most beloved neighborhoods!
