Tucked below the foothills of Sunland-Tujunga, this 3 bed 2 bath 1954 ranch feels like quintessential California, sunny, unpretentious, and full of possibility. Still retaining her midcentury charms and her mature lemon tree out front, you'll find her comfortable and ready to enjoy as is, at a price point usually reserved for condos in LA. No flipper has erased the good stuff here. Keep the original hardwood floors, the kitchen's sweet original '50s solid wood cabinetry, and the primary ensuite bath's citron green tile exactly as they are, or dream up something entirely your own when the time comes. An enormous den with mountain views steals the show, opening toward the generous backyard and wood deck with its built-in pool, perfect for summer parties, and evenings outside. The three bedrooms all get great light and the primary has its own ensuite bath while the other two share a hall full bath. A detached backyard flex space with its own bathroom and AC offers a perfect studio, office, or private hangout. Many practical updates are already in place as well, including a one-year-old roof, updated dual-pane windows, newer electrical panel and washer & dryer. Central to both NELA and the Valley - Studio City, Pasadena and the Eastside are moments away. Weekend puttering around finds you grabbing a morning coffee at Unincorporated Coffee Roasters before you mosey to Sunland Rec, Oro Vista Park, or wander the many Angeles National Forest trails. Ralphs and Back Door Bakery nearby make last-minute pool parties and backyard dinners a snap. In the evening, settle in on the back porch watching the light slink away along the foothills, this is easy LA living at its best. **Listing photos contain some design renderings provided solely for inspirational purposes and are always followed by the real image.**
