Tucked below the foothills of Sunland-Tujunga, this 3 bed 2 bath 1954 ranch feels like quintessential California, sunny 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, with a bevy of practical updates: Roof is only one-year-old, updated copper plumbing, updated dual-pane windows, sewer and drain lines have been updated, newer electrical panel, water heater and washer & dryer. Refinish and keep the gorgeous 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 private ensuite bath while the other two share a hallway full bath. A detached backyard Mini-Barn flex space with its own bathroom and AC offers a perfect studio, office, or private hangout. 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 digitally staged pictures provided solely for inspirational purposes and are always followed by the real image.**
