Whether looking for a wonderful home, a property with room to grow, or an investment opportunity with multiple avenues for potential value, this property deserves a closer look. For investors or buyers looking toward the future, the property's large flat lot, detached garage, RV parking, horse zoning, potential ADU, and potential for expansion create a unique opportunity to explore a variety of possibilities. The existing home can be enjoyed today while the generous property footprint offers so many opportunities (buyer to verify all zoning, permits, and development potential). The front and rear yards are fully fenced. The front yard features drought-tolerant landscaping, a privacy hedge, decomposed granite, and drip irrigation. The backyard currently includes fruit trees, a storage shed, and a freestanding pergola. Inside, the home has been nicely upgraded while preserving its original character, including beautiful hardwood floors throughout most of the home. The spacious primary bedroom is privately situated on the opposite side of the home from the secondary bedrooms, creating a comfortable retreat. The large primary bathroom has been beautifully remodeled with a spacious stone walk-in shower, elegant glass enclosure, and large vanity. The light-filled living room features crown molding and a gas fireplace insert with remote starter, creating a warm and inviting gathering space. The adjacent dining room offers wainscoting and a beautiful light fixture with a hidden surprise. The recently remodeled kitchen combines style and functionality with new cabinetry, pull-out shelves, lazy Susans, new appliances, quartz countertops, and a large pantry room that leads to the spacious enclosed service porch and laundry room. Conveniently located near schools, parks, shopping, dining, and freeway access, this property offers the rare combination of a desirable location, a home to enjoy today and a property with possibilities for tomorrow. With its substantial lot size, existing amenities, development potential, and multiple opportunities for future improvement, this is a rare North Hills property. Don't miss this exceptional opportunity!
