Description

In 1940, Francis M. Simons selected this parcel in the Verdugo Woodlands on which to construct her beloved character cottage. She sited the house purposefully on this parcel to maximize the yard space while creating a sense of seclusion within it.
Greeted at the front door within a welcoming front porch, you are invited into the formal living room with its rich hardwood floors and character wood windows that fill the home with natural light. The oversized kitchen is a wonderful surprise with its updated tile flooring, granite counter tops, and a wall of glass overlooking the romantic covered patio and the view beyond. Both bedrooms are off the main hall with a den in the middle that could function as a third bedroom as well. The full bath has been tastefully updated and the primary bedroom has its own primary bath.
The rear yard is a wonderful surprise with lawn play space, pampered gardens, mature trees and a lovely view. There is also a small storage area around the back that could make for a clever home office. Just a few of the features include central air and heating, a new roof, laundry area off the main hall, and an attached garage. Per the GUSD website, this property is within the Fremont Elementary, Rosemont Middle, and Crescenta Valley High School districts.
This property is off market, which means it's not currently listed for sale or rent on Trulia. This may be different from what's available on other websites or public sources. This description is from August 19, 2025

    "Living in Verdugo Woodlands has been a wonderful experience for my family. The neighborhood feels peaceful and safe, with tree-lined streets perfect for evening walks. Verdugo Woodlands Elementary is a gem—teachers are caring, parents are involved, and the programs really keep kids engaged and happy. My children love walking to school and we’ve built strong friendships with other families. Verdugo Park is another highlight, with wide open spaces, great playgrounds, and plenty of shaded picnic areas where kids can play freely. It’s a truly family-friendly community where children thrive and parents feel connected."

    "The Don’t send them to LAUSD whatever you do. People drive a little too fast and there are a lot of hot-headed middle easterners with oil money. Definitely one of the best neighborhoods in LA county. It has its own little weather system. I wish I could afford it. "

    "There are some crazy drivers. Also I’m skeptical of the education system like public schools. It’s a nice neighborhood and has its own weather system it seems. The smog doesn’t miss it though. I’m. It a parent. I’m not sure if I’ll actually be able to continue living here. It’s nice but all of LA is way over priced in my opinion"

    "the neighborhood is very friendly but needs more brighter street lights, traffic control in front of college to many double parking picking up students causing possible traffic accidents & road rage, i know because it happen to me almost hitting vehicle sticking out. People racing driving to fast in school areas. Most importantly having to pay for permits to park in our own neighborhood and not enough parking where permit is assigned. Not being able to have visitors during the week when only one guest pass is assigned per residential driver. very upsetting after having to pay for parking and not but only one guest pass for one visitor car during the week, only weekends not needed. also students leaving trash, bottles, cigarettes bud all over sidewalks grass bus stops. we need trash cans. pooping bags, ashtrays like in front of College at least the closest apartment building to college. faster bulkie funiture pickup. thanks"
