Description
Known affectionately by neighbors as "The Yosemite House" for its majestic Redwood standing sentry over the birds of paradise and shaded azaleas in the front yard, this single-story gem offers a lifestyle of quiet prestige nestled in the picturesque North of Rinaldi neighborhood of Granada Hills. Recently enhanced with a complete exterior repaint, the residence provides a seamless blend of refined comfort and extraordinary potential. The expansive floor plan is anchored by rich hardwood floors and a striking dual-sided fireplace. The kitchen/dining area is bathed in light from a charming bay-windowed breakfast nook and elegant French doors which seamlessly bridges the gap between indoor comfort and outdoor beauty. Retreat to the large, primary suite, which boasts a recent bathroom remodel complete with marble countertops, ceramic flooring, oversized soaking tub, and a sleek walk-in shower. With two of the four bedrooms featuring en-suite bathrooms, the layout is as functional as it is inviting. The true magic of this residence is revealed as you cross yet another set of French doors through the sun-drenched lanai and into the enchanting backyard. The grounds slope gently toward a city-maintained arroyo, bordering the lush, manicured fairways of the Knollwood Country Club. This natural buffer ensures complete rear privacy while framing breathtaking, panoramic views of the Santa Susana Mountains. This private sanctuary is home to a vibrant ecosystem of blood orange and Valencia trees, fragrant wisteria, towering Mexican fan palms, as well as Eucalyptus, Cypress and Redwoods where owls and hummingbirds are frequent guests, while a whimsical bougainvillea enclosure serves as a refuge for local bunnies. Tucked into the landscape lies a charming, custom-built, and recently repainted miniature playhouse, equipped with electricity, and with a bit of TLC, can be the perfect footprint for a creative studio. Whether you envision a custom pool, a modern ADU, or an elite entertaining space, this +/- 12,980 SF canvas offers a rare opportunity to customize your dream oasis. Positioned just minutes from the trails of O'Melveny Park and the area's top-tier, high-ranking schools, this is a unique opportunity to secure long-term value in one of the Valley's most sought-after pockets.
