Behind private gates & nestled on nearly one acre of lush, tree-filled grounds, this distinguished 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath Northridge residence embodies the warmth, character, & tranquility of a true California estate. A deep setback from the street & long gated drive create a grand approach, with generous parking that includes a 2-car attached garage, 4-car carport, & expansive RV access. At the heart of the home, a serene front courtyard framed by vibrant landscaping welcomes you inside to nearly 3,200 sq ft of light-filled living space. Step down to the impressive main living area featuring dramatic open-beam ceilings, a statement fireplace with raised hearth, & custom built-ins, while walls of glass open to the covered patio & pool, seamlessly connecting indoor & outdoor living. A large picture window on the opposite wall showcases the front courtyard, flooding the space with natural light & creating a beautiful sense of symmetry. The adjoining family room & formal dining area with additional backyard access, & the spacious kitchen—with built-in cooktop, double ovens, & cozy breakfast nook—offer perfect flow for entertaining & everyday living. The home’s thoughtful layout continues with a powder bath for guests, a large laundry room with wall-to-wall built-in storage, & direct garage access. All bedrooms are found in the north wing of the home, including a peaceful primary suite with fireplace, ample closet space, & an ensuite bath featuring wraparound dual-sink vanity, oversized shower, & a second walk-in closet that impresses in size. Three additional bedrooms share a hall bath with separate tub & shower, each enhanced with ceiling fans & natural light. Outside, the backyard unfolds like a private park, with a covered patio featuring ceiling fans & retractable awnings, a sparkling pool with diving board, vast lawn, & a canopy of mature trees offering shade & serenity. A powerful 22 kW backup generator adds peace of mind & convenience, ensuring uninterrupted comfort year-round. The property is zoned LARA, suggesting potential for an ADU, guesthouse, or future expansion (buyers to verify). Ideally located near the Northridge Fashion Center, Porter Ranch Vineyards Shopping Center, popular dining destinations, & beautiful local parks, the home provides easy access to the 101 & 118 Freeways as well as connecting major thoroughfares, & falls within the boundaries of highly rated Napa Street Elementary & Sutter Middle School.
