This distinctively architectural retreat is nestled up in a secluded canyon with great views of the Santa Susana mountains and city lights below and separated from neighboring homes for complete privacy. It features an open design with vaulted ceilings and massive windows in the living room and dining area that flows out to a large outdoor terrace perfect for entertaining and al-fresco dining. The large gourmet kitchen boasts granite countertops, stainless steel appliances and a center island. The master suite occupies the whole downstairs level and features a private balcony, fireplace, walk-in closet and luxurious en-suite bathroom with spa-tub and walls of windows overlooking the woods. Upstairs is the large loft that could be used as a third bedroom. Situated on a cul-de-sac next to a protected canyon best for hikes and dog walking, this home feels so removed from the city but is literally 5 minutes away from Ventura Boulevard's array of fine dining restaurants and shops.
