17513 Strathern Street

This beautiful single-story home is located in a wonderful Northridge neighborhood and features... Lovely exterior appeal, starting with a spectacular star jasmine fence. Behind it are manicured front and rear yards with lush landscaping and custom design features that combine to create a tranquil setting, minimize… maintenance, and allow for your personal landscape additions. This property is a pollinator heaven, with plum, peach, mulberry, and sweet lemon trees, along with lavender, rosemary, green-grape grapevines, euryops (aka Golden Shrub Daisy) and milkweed to support the Monarch butterfly population (yes, they are almost daily visitors to this serene oasis). Corner rock garden has herb niches that include bay leaves and oregano, with plenty of space for your own favorites. Inside, you will find a spacious living room with an adjoining dining area with natural bamboo flooring. The kitchen has been remodeled and has granite counters, travertine floors, a stainless steel sink, and lots of cabinet space. Note: the stove and refrigerator are included. The private master suite has parquet flooring and ensuite bathroom with shower. Bedroom #2 has been expanded and can also be used as a family room, etc. The original room has parquet flooring; the 15 x 15 foot expansion has the same bamboo flooring as the living room. Bedroom #3 has parquet flooring. Other features include a main bathroom with a shower over the tub, an indoor laundry area, and central cooling and heating. The house was re-plumbed with copper in 2017; attic insulation and heating/ac ducts were also replaced in 2017. Note: the two-car detached garage was converted to a recording studio by a Grammy Award-winning sound editor. It is soundproofed, and it has two separate electrical circuits, with additional electrical circuitry, but there is no recording equipment. The garage door was left in place, so re-conversion is not difficult. Studio may have the potential to be converted to an ADU, buyer to verify. Large 16 x 20-foot covered area behind garage is wired for 220v; its perfect for storage, a serious workshop, or a hot tub. Hurry, this one is a winner!!! Read More
