821 Groton Drive

There’s something immediately inviting about this Burbank home—from the covered brick front porch to the warm hardwood floors, comfortable living spaces and peaceful indoor-outdoor setting. Offering 3 bedrooms, 2 baths and 1,635 square feet of living space on a generous 8,277-square-foot lot, the home has a… surprisingly spacious feel, with multiple areas to gather, entertain or simply settle in, along with pretty hillside and neighborhood views that add to the sense of openness. Beautifully refinished hardwood floors run through the living and dining areas, complemented by crown molding and decorative wall details. The living room is anchored by a classic wood-burning fireplace with a handsome wood mantel, while the separate dining room provides a wonderful space for everything from casual dinners to holiday gatherings. The kitchen features granite countertops and backsplash, abundant wood cabinetry, a GE gas cooktop and built-in microwave, stainless-steel dishwasher and refrigerator, and a distinctive illuminated ceiling feature. Just beyond the kitchen, a spacious family room with exposed wood beams and new plush carpeting creates a relaxed second living area and adds to the home's easy, comfortable flow. Several of the big-ticket improvements have already been taken care of, including a central heating and air-conditioning system and a tankless water heater, both approximately two years old. The refinished hardwood floors and new carpeting add another layer of move-in-ready appeal. And then there’s the backyard—a peaceful outdoor retreat with pleasant hillside outlooks and plenty of space to enjoy Southern California living. A large brick and concrete patio offers room for outdoor dining and entertaining, while a covered pergola, built-in gas fire pit, grassy areas, mature trees and established landscaping create several inviting places to relax, entertain or enjoy a quiet afternoon outdoors. Adding even more versatility is a separate air-conditioned bonus/work room of approximately 12' x 14'—additional space beyond the home's stated 1,635 square feet. Whether used as a home office, workshop, creative studio, exercise room or extra storage, it's a valuable space that gives the property even more flexibility. Complete with a two-car attached garage, generous lot and a combination of classic Burbank character and meaningful updates, this is a home that offers more space, comfort and possibilities than you might expect from the numbers alone.
