Hollywood & the film industry came to the area in the early 1920s and began building rustic cabins for their weekend getaways and soon enough the hilly and forested community of the Santa Susana Knolls was alive and thriving. This is one of those cabins. Built in 1935 at the end of a private road, this secluded 2 bedroom 1 bath home is immersed in rocky, wild landscape and sun kissed through tall windows and skylight. A terraced deck connects the home to the tree covered hillside that could easily become a spectacular flower garden or a place to grow your own fruits & veggies. Over the course of 40 years the homeowner has lovingly maintained this property and it shows. The roof was installed in 2011, the windows are double pane. The living room and primary bedroom enjoy vaulted ceilings. Laminate wood flooring is found throughout the home. The custom cabinetry in the kitchen is crafted from cherry and purple heart woods, known for their strength and durability. Open concept with defined spaces describes the kitchen, living and dining areas. A large deck provides a perfect space for BBQ, sun bathing, parties and naps.
