The Story
2012 North Screenland Drive
Nestled on an idyllic, tree-lined street just north of Magnolia Park, this beautifully maintained 1941 Ranch pairs timeless character, thoughtful updates and an exceptional location with one seriously impressive piece of land. Located within the highly desirable Burbank school district, the home is truly move-in ready, with original hardwood floors, a warm brick fireplace and sun-drenched living spaces that give it an easy, undeniable charm. The living room flows into a fully renovated kitchen with custom cabinetry, while vintage built-ins line the hallway leading to two generously sized, sunlit bedrooms. But the backyard is where this home becomes extraordinary. Set on a huge, flat 8,100-square-foot lot, there's room for a sizable addition, ADU or simply enjoying all that space exactly as it is. At the heart of it all is a magnificent walnut tree that looks straight out of an enchanted storybook, its enormous canopy shading a backyard filled with blooming California natives, lemon and grapefruit trees and low-maintenance, water-wise turf. A shaded patio creates the perfect setting for alfresco dinners or evenings spent with friends. It's the kind of backyard that's increasingly hard to find in such a central part of Los Angeles. The home has also been exceptionally well cared for, with major improvements including a new permitted roof, seismic retrofitting, new HVAC system, new insulation, an upgraded electrical panel, interior rewiring and a 250-volt plug for an EV charger. The fully gated property is surrounded by new privacy fencing, creating a beautifully secure setting to enjoy the grounds. A roomy 2-car garage, driveway and ample street parking round things out. And then there's the location. Neighborhood shops, restaurants and beloved Foy and Maxam parks are all within walking distance, while Magnolia Blvd's endless array of boutiques and eateries, Porto's, Costco and the Empire Center are just 5 minutes away. Warner Bros., Disney Studios and Downtown Burbank are all less than 10 minutes from home, with easy freeway access putting the rest of Los Angeles within effortless reach. Move-in ready, wonderfully connected and sitting on an extraordinary piece of land, this timeless Burbank home offers something very rare: character, convenience and room to spread out and dream.
