Welcome to a private Sherwood Forest retreat where generous scale, timeless comfort, and effortless California living come together. Set behind secure gates on an expansive, flat lot, this exceptional single-story residence is surrounded by mature palms, manicured lawns, and a resort-style pool and spa. Inside, sun-filled interiors are enhanced by skylights and an inviting open flow, with a beautifully appointed chef's kitchen featuring a substantial center island and professional-style range, elegant formal dining, and a spacious family room anchored by a dramatic see-through fireplace. Two private primary suites provide exceptional flexibility, including one with direct pool access and a spa-inspired bath featuring a deep soaking tub and glass-enclosed shower. The grounds continue to impress with a permitted two-story guest house offering versatile space for guests, a home office, creative pursuits, or extended living. An oversized two-car garage adds convenience and storage. Ideally located near CSUN, premier shopping, dining, and convenient access to the 118 and 405 freeways. Buyer to independently verify permits, square footage, and room use.
