Never before on the market — original owners since 1973. For more than five decades, this home has been lovingly lived in and cared for by its original owners. Tucked in the established New Monterey tract of North Central Simi Valley, this single-story 4-bedroom, 2-bath home sits on a generous 9,583 sq. ft. lot with possible RV access and offers a comfortable, practical layout with thoughtful updates made over the years. This home welcomes you with shade trees, block planters, stucco-and-wood siding, and a deep driveway leading to the 2-car garage. A brick-accented step brings you to the front door, where you enter into the living room featuring vaulted ceilings, a large corner window, and wood-like laminate flooring. Just off the living room is a flexible space that was once a bedroom and is now used as an office–complete with double-door entry, a window seat with storage, built-in shelving, and a closet. It’s the kind of room that naturally adapts to whatever life needs: office, guest room, craft room, or bedroom again. Down the hall are three additional bedrooms, including a nicely updated hall bathroom featuring a walk-in tile shower with handrails, bench seating, a handheld shower head, glass slider, and a modern vanity. The primary bedroom sits quietly toward the back of the home with a walk-in closet, ceiling fan/light, backyard views, and an ensuite bathroom upgraded with tile flooring, a newer vanity, and a walk-in shower with handrails and glass doors. The heart of the home is the open family room, dining nook, and kitchen–a warm, lived-in space with a brick fireplace, breakfast bar seating, and vaulted ceilings. The kitchen has been updated with quartz countertops, a farmhouse sink overlooking the patio, and an etched-glass door leading to the walk-in pantry. Stainless steel appliances include a newer LG refrigerator, Whirlpool super-quiet dishwasher, a just-installed Frigidaire 5-burner cooktop/range, and a built-in KitchenAid microwave. A slider opens to the covered side patio for easy indoor/outdoor flow. The backyard is designed for low-maintenance living and enjoyable outdoor time, offering two covered patio areas, rock pathways, steppingstones, fruit trees such as grapefruit, navel orange, lemon, and kumquats, along with wisteria, hibiscus, palo verde trees, several garden boxes, and drought-tolerant landscaping throughout. A brick-and-rock outdoor oven sits near the patio, and a gated dog run with a shed adds extra functionality. Drip irrigation and additional electrical outlets enhance the usability of the outdoor space, while block walls enclose the yard for added privacy. Additional upgrades include newer dual-paned windows and sliders, an updated electrical panel, a newer roof, an updated AC system with an air purifier, a newer water heater, leased solar, and garage washer and dryer hookups accompanied by newer Whirlpool appliances. As the original owners prepare to close this chapter, the home now opens its doors to someone who will write the next one. Its single-level design, updated features, established landscaping, and comfortable gathering spaces offer a practical and inviting setting for daily living in a well-loved Simi Valley community.
