Tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac in a very desirable neighborhood south of Ventura Boulevard. This charming single-story home offers over 2,100 square feet of living space and a spacious and private lot with a pool. Lovingly maintained over the years, this home combines the character and warmth of an established property with the peace of mind that comes from thoughtful improvements. Major updates include the roof, windows, heating and air conditioning, including a large-capacity A/C unit installed just a few years ago, and a main sewer line replaced approximately six months ago. The kitchen and bathrooms have also enjoyed updates over the years. Inside, youll find three bedrooms, three bathrooms, and a versatile additional room currently used as a den that could easily serve as a home office or potential fourth bedroom. Large windows and multiple doors connecting the living spaces to the backyard invite natural light inside and makes for great indoor-outdoor living. And what a backyard! With a resurfaced pool, privacy, and plenty of room to entertain, this outdoor space is a standout feature. A convenient bathroom with direct backyard access. Additional highlights include a dedicated laundry room with extra storage and refrigerator space, plus an attached two-car garage. This is a home that has been genuinely cared for, offering the charm of an established neighborhood, the space to enjoy both inside and out, and the benefit of many significant improvements already completed.

The ez Mortgage Calculator is for educational purposes only. Real-world interest rates and payments can differ due to factors like market trends, location, and loan specifics. Calculations are based on your inputs and might not consider extra costs a lender may add, such as insurance, taxes, and fees; thus, actual repayments could surpass estimates. Please note, ez Home Search does not provide loans, and this tool does not promise lending.
