Property Description
Have you always wished you had a home with panoramic views and a yard large enough for an orchard or a small urban farm, or perhaps a backyard studio for art projects or other pursuits, but could never find a home with a yard large enough to support these passions? Your wish has come true. 5851 Ralston Ave, a sweet mid-century home, sited beautifully above the street, has a sun-filled, 7500 square foot lot, with the gentlest of slopes. Amazingly, the backyard is almost level. Now let your creative juices flow. This delightful home welcomes you with a spacious front porch, positioned perfectly to take in the views. The living room with a large picture window and gleaming hardwood floors, has equally stunning views. The adjacent formal dining room opens to the backyard as well as an updated kitchen with quartz countertops, newer appliances and generous cabinet space. A pantry space and half bath are conveniently located off the kitchen. Two bedrooms, one with beautiful views and a huge closet, share an updated bath with a large soaking tub and a shower above. A laundry/plus rm with a separate entrance and a detached garage provide great storage and versatility. Additional features include fresh interior paint, dual pane windows, and fabulous proximity to Wildcat Canyon Park.
