Description

Topanga and Ojai vibes in this peaceful, fully updated home on a sprawling lot, tucked among the shady oak trees and rocky hilltops of the sought after Santa Susana Knolls neighborhood of Simi Valley! This home has been lovingly cared for with a NEW ROOF, NEW AC, recently RENOVATED BATHROOMS and FLOORING, and a new roof above the patio. The lot has loads of flat, empty space for a potential ADU, pool, or even stables. This laid-back refuge from the city is 1 exit into Ventura County, 5 mins to the 118, 12 miles to Calabasas and less than 30 miles to Malibu, Santa Monica and Hollywood. Walk to the nearby Santa Susana Park (and Historic Railroad Museum). With 3 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms, including a spacious primary with ensuite and high vaulted ceilings, with bright skylights and sliders to the secluded patio with tranquil views of the cactus garden and your very own hilltop. The other two bedrooms have pastoral views of the property and plenty of closet space. The large living room has vaulted ceilings and an oversized picture window framing majestic oaks. Enjoy the open flow to the dining area, as well as an updated kitchen with stainless steel throughout. Take your dinner plates from the dining area to the charming covered patio, perfect for entertaining with friends and neighbors. Fire up the built-in smoker, a strong selling point for the current owners, or lounge on the elevated patio complete with oversized umbrella. Hike to your very own private hilltop with sunset views and 2 elevated patio decks, perfect for star gazing, bird watching or just taking it all in. Winding paths take you to the front of the property, with a raised garden bed, a sandpit, tree swings, and an amazing tree house for hours of kid entertainment. The long, wide driveway has plenty of space for RV parking. The partially finished garage comes complete with washer dryer, work bench, and plenty of desk space for a home office with a window overlooking the property. Hike at Rocky Point Natural Park or right out your own backdoor. Become a regular at Old Susana Cafe and enjoy the highly rated Simi Valley Unified School District.
