Description

Nestled in a peaceful cul-de-sac in the heart of Valley Glen, this 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home perfectly blends timeless charm with elevated comfort. The inviting living room centers around a classic brick fireplace, framed by original hardwood floors and abundant natural light. The open layout flows effortlessly into the updated kitchen, featuring stainless steel appliances, a breakfast bar, and the ideal setup for both daily living and entertaining. The primary suite feels like a retreat, complete with a walk-in closet, French doors that open to the backyard, and a spa-like en-suite bath. Step outside to your own private oasis, a fully gated yard with raised garden beds, gorgeous trees, and decks designed for relaxation, play, and endless gatherings. A standout feature is the detached, acoustically insulated music studio complete with its own mini-split system and dedicated 100-amp panel, perfect as a creative space, office, or potential ADU. The home is 1,655 sf, and the music studio is 205 sf. With its two-car garage, curated lighting, and a neighborly front porch, this Valley Glen gem offers the perfect blend of tranquility, style, and possibility.

    "The area is close to Hollywood, Downtown or the Beaches. Public schools are generally good. Private schools are local too. Wouldn’t consider this neighborhood today because of the over abundance of apartments. Not sure what else to say. Other than it’s a decent neighborhood besides those things I’ve mentioned. Riverside and Milliken are great schools."
