Tucked into the natural beauty of the canyon, this character-rich split-level home blends timeless architecture with everyday livability. Offering approximately 700 sq ft of bonus space, it showcases hardware, woodwork, and thoughtful details that speak to its craftsmanship. Step inside to a living room with a cathedral ceiling, classic wood-burning fireplace, and a large picture window that fills the space with soft, natural light. Just off the living room is the dining room, featuring a generous window seat and built-in shelving. Through the dining area, the well-sized kitchen offers wood cabinetry, updated tile flooring, and details that complement the home’s rustic character. A private balcony extends the space outdoors. A hallway off the living room leads to the first bedroom, where built-in drawer space and a second window seat create a cozy nook. The main bathroom sits along this hallway, offering a walk-in shower and separate soaking tub. From the hallway, stairs lead up to the primary bedroom—a peaceful retreat beneath another cathedral ceiling. The height and natural light give the room an airy yet intimate feel. After heading upstairs, follow the stairs down to a versatile lower-level suite. You arrive first in an adaptable flex space—perfect for an office or creative nook—before stepping into the living room. From this central space, a short hallway leads to the bedroom and remodeled 3/4 bath. Off the living room, an open entry reveals the kitchen-ready area, complete with an existing gas line and pre-plumbing, perfectly positioned for a future kitchenette and offering strong potential for an apartment-style suite, in-law unit, Airbnb, or dedicated workspace. Beyond the interior, a detached garage offers valuable bonus space, ideal for a workshop or future ADU. With five APNs, the property provides long-term flexibility, including the potential to sell parcels individually. The outdoor environment features a designated dog run, tranquil canal, rustic stone walls, and mature trees. Despite its serenity, the property is moments from Dexter Park and Community Center, dining, shopping, and Sylmar favorites—offering the best of canyon living with quick access to the city. It’s one of the few remaining pockets in LA that feels like true canyon living without being remote. A proven paid film location with potential for future compensated shoots, it’s a place where architectural integrity, natural beauty, and flexible living come together.
