Description

One of Santa Clarita's most unique and historically significant homes located on almost half an acre and in exceptional move-in condition! Iconic example of storybook architecture was designed by architect Ben Sherwood of the Silver Lake Snow White Cottages. This single story 2 bedroom 2 bath home blends character and function with high ceilings and lots of light with dramatic architectural features you won't find anywhere else. Upon entry you will be struck by the artwork that is the front door and enter into a huge living room with soaring ceilings, a rebuilt functional stone fireplace and original wood floors. Beamed ceilings, original woodwork and a built-in prohibition bar convey an intact historical home that is still very livable. Down the large grassy front yard is a heated pool with big valley views and a resort-like cabana. The detached garage has an impressive fully finished loft with a dual split heat/AC system. Perhaps an inspiring studio, practical guest suite or just a very large home office. The western windows overlook the pool while striking mountains and Hart mansion views are to the east. A very quiet top of the cul-de-sac location with a short walk to downtown Newhall restaurants, Christmas tree lighting, 4th of July parade and farmer’s market. Convenient in-town location, while still in one of the best pockets of quiet Happy Valley. In addition to being free of HOA restrictions and supplemental tax assessments, the potential historic importance of the property suggests the new owner may want to apply for the Mills Act property tax relief - Buyer to verify if home would qualify. In 2016, prevous owner redid plumbing, electrical & panels (200 amp per seller). 5 years ago a tankless water heater was added in the laundry room that feeds the whole house.
