Property Description
Charming Valley Glen Home with Detached Guest House, Privacy & Income Potential
Welcome to this unique and versatile property in the sought-after Valley Glen neighborhood - perfect for those seeking comfort, privacy, and investment opportunity.
The main home offers 2 bedrooms and 1 beautifully updated bathroom (approximately 1,600 sq. ft.), featuring wood laminate flooring throughout, energy-efficient windows, a renovated kitchen with granite countertops, and a cozy living room with a fireplace. There's also a bonus den area off the kitchen, ideal for a home office or creative workspace.
The spacious family room addition leads to a serene, retreat-style backyard with a fire-pit - perfect for entertaining or relaxing. There's also ample room to add a pool or design your dream outdoor space.
A standout feature of this property is the spacious detached guest house located at the rear of the lot. Originally recorded as a recreation room, the space has since been thoughtfully expanded and now offers approximately 850 sq. ft. of flexible use. Featuring a studio-style layout with a kitchenette, upgraded bathroom, and ductless mini-split system for heating and cooling, this non-conforming structure presents a range of possibilities - ideal as a guest suite, home office, in-law quarters, or creative studio. Buyer is advised to independently verify all square footage, usage, and any applicable permits to their satisfaction.
The property offers full privacy, surrounded by fencing and lush greenery, including a beautiful array of trees and landscaping that create a peaceful, secluded environment.
Recent upgrades include a new roof, exterior paint, rain gutters, vinyl fencing, patio pavers, long driveway, and drought-tolerant landscaping.
Located near shopping, restaurants, the mall, and major freeways, this is a rare find with incredible potential.
