Through sliding glass doors--fitted with custom Hunter Douglas treatments--you'll find a grand, wood-beamed patio supported by stately columns. Ensconced by a canopy of mature trees, this low-maintenance yard offers a secluded space to relax or entertain. Modern comforts and accessibility define the rest of the home, featuring a true zero-step entry, a spacious walk-in primary shower, and energy-efficient dual-paned windows. The home offers an indoor laundry area, a two-car garage with quality built-in cabinetry, and convenient direct interior access. A gated community pool, spa, and two clubhouses - one complete with a full catering kitchen, all just moments from Santa Susana Community Park, with nature pathways, shopping, and dining. This is more than just a home--it's your private retreat.
