About this property

Welcome home to one of West Hills' most desirable neighborhoods, where this 4-bedroom, 3-bath home sits at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac surrounded by mature trees and the sounds of nature. The setting is extraordinary: a lush lot of more than 16,000 SqFt with a sparkling pool, a sprawling grassy yard, fruit trees, and fragrant rose bushes, all framed by sweeping views of the Chatsworth Nature Preserve. Step inside to a striking living room with soaring 15-foot ceilings and open, retro-style stairs. The eat-in kitchen offers abundant counter space and a huge walk-in pantry, ready for everything from weeknight dinners to holiday gatherings. An expansive great room, with its own full bathroom, can serve as a family room, a guest suite, or comfortable quarters for extended family. Upstairs, the oversized primary suite feels like a private retreat, with a walk-in closet, custom built-ins, an ensuite bath with deep, soaking tub, and a private deck where you can enjoy your morning coffee against a backdrop of mountain scenery. Two more well-appointed bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill bathroom, completing a practical, well-designed upper level. This idyllic neighborhood is served by an award-winning elementary school as well as several prominent private schools. Just minutes away are The Commons at Calabasas, Westfield Topanga, the trails at Oaks Park, and UCLA West Valley Medical Center, and the beaches of Malibu. Quick access to the 101 and 118 freeways and Topanga Canyon Boulevard makes getting around the Valley and beyond a breeze. Homes with this much land, privacy, and natural beauty are rarely available. Don't miss your chance to make this one yours.

Loan assumptions and ownership costs

Blank costs are excluded, not confirmed to be zero. Get taxes, insurance and HOA estimates for this property; prior-owner taxes may change after purchase. Mortgage insurance depends on your loan—ask your lender.

Enter your rate and costs, then calculate.

Illustration only—not a rate quote, preapproval, lending offer or affordability determination.
