Built in 1954, this timeless mid-century residence is set on an exceptional 11,267 square-foot lot in one of Valley Glen's most desirable neighborhoods. Nestled on a pie-shaped lot at the bend in the road, across from the highly acclaimed Erwin Elementary. This home's many original classic architectural features blend superbly with an extraordinary, expansive outdoor setting, capturing the essence of California indoor-outdoor living. The original Knotty Pine walls, decorative fireplace and beamed ceiling in the living and dining area set that classic mid-century casual feel. Oversized mullioned picture windows fill the home with natural light while framing tranquil views of the lush, mature landscape, creating a seamless connection between the interior and its private garden sanctuary. Original hardwood floors, inviting living spaces, three bedrooms including the primary with a screened-in backyard patio, two baths, and a versatile centrally located den, also with a decorative fireplace (4th bedroom option), create a comfortable, functional floor plan suited to a variety of lifestyles. The expansive backyard is the true centerpiece of the property. Beautifully landscaped with mature trees, a sprawling grassy lawn for walks and exploration of its many plantings, an inviting patio, a side-yard kitchen garden, a tucked-away above-ground backyard spa, and a charming central fountain, this home is a peaceful retreat for everyday living and an exceptional setting for entertaining. The oversized lot provides ample space for future enhancements, including a pool, guest house or ADU (buyer to verify), outdoor kitchen, or expanded gardens. Rarely does a property combine authentic mid-century architecture with such generous outdoor space. Conveniently located near shopping, dining, parks, and major commuter routes, this is a unique opportunity to own a home where timeless design and an exceptional garden setting come together.
