Welcome to a private, resort-style retreat tucked away on a peaceful cul-de-sac in the heart of Northridge. Set on an expansive, beautifully landscaped lot, this impressive 5-bedroom, 4-bathroom home offers an exceptional combination of space, privacy, recreation, and indoor-outdoor living. Double doors open to a bright and airy floor plan filled with natural light, beautiful hardwood floors, and picturesque views of the newly landscaped grounds. The formal living and dining areas feature soaring ceilings, an impressive floor-to-ceiling fireplace, French-pane windows with plantation shutters, and a wonderful sense of openness. At the heart of the home is a generously sized chef’s kitchen with abundant cabinetry and counter space, along with a grand center island featuring its own prep sink. Multiple skylights in both the kitchen and family room bring in even more natural light, while custom built-ins add character and functionality. A full laundry room provides additional everyday convenience. The true showstopper is the private, park-like backyard. Surrounded by lush landscaping, the expansive grounds offer a huge swimming pool, entertaining cabana, tennis/sports court, fully functioning dry sauna, and built-in barbecue with an outdoor refrigerator for refreshments. With multiple areas for dining, lounging, recreation, and hosting, this is a backyard designed to be enjoyed year-round. A three-car garage provides ample parking and storage, while the peaceful cul-de-sac and estate-like grounds create the feeling of being tucked away at a private wine-country retreat—yet you’re just minutes from shopping, dining, freeways, and highly regarded nearby schools.
