About this House

This lovely 4-bedroom, 2-bath home pairs natural light with warm finishes to create a comforting place to settle into. Sunlight fills the main living area through large sliding doors, bringing a soft glow across the wood-style flooring. A striking stone fireplace adds texture and character to the room, while built-in shelving offers a practical spot to display books and personal pieces.

Your kitchen includes generous cabinetry, a gas cooktop, and a wide sink beneath bright windows that keep the space feeling open. A refrigerator will also be added prior to move-in for added convenience.

Tile flooring and spacious counters support meal prep, and the layout flows naturally toward the living and dining areas. Heat and central A/C help maintain a comfortable atmosphere throughout the year.

All four bedrooms offer adaptable layouts for rest or work, and the two baths are arranged for easy day-to-day use. Two parking spots in the garage provide secure storage and added convenience, while automatic sprinklers help maintain the outdoor space with less upkeep.

Set in a convenient Van Nuys location, you are within easy reach of Balboa Park, Lake Balboa, and the Sepulveda Basin's walking paths and sports facilities. Nearby Ventura Boulevard brings a variety of restaurants and cafes, and you will find groceries, shopping, and everyday services minutes away at Sherman Oaks Galleria and along Van Nuys Boulevard.
