RARE opportunity to own two single-story homes on one flat, approximately half-acre parcel in the coveted Melody Acres neighborhood of Tarzana. Situated behind a private gate, this unique property offers TWO custom built homes as follows: the front house consists of three bedrooms, three and one-half baths with approximately 3,111 square feet and the back house has two bedrooms, two baths with approximately 2,000 square feet. There is a third room with a separate entrance over the detached two-car garage plus a three-quarter bath. The authentic patina of the front Hacienda-style home is reminiscent of another era with a private courtyard, a fountain and multiple French doors bringing lots of natural light inside. Upon entering the expansive open floor plan, you will experience the vaulted, beamed, natural wood ceiling and large chef's open kitchen with center island that has bar seating. The kitchen area opens onto a large family room with an arched wood-burning fireplace and a raised hearth. Adjacent to the family room is a spacious wine bar with a refrigerator. The formal living room has wood floors and French doors opening onto the courtyard. The primary suite has dual walk-in closets and an enormous spa-like bathroom with dual vanities and separate shower/tub. The back house was custom designed to accommodate aging parents. All door openings were made extra wide. There is a north/south pickle ball/sports court that is fully fenced and lighted at the rear of the property plus a pool/spa, fountains and citrus trees. And with the high price of eggs, who wouldn't also love their own chicken coop too? Country living with all the conveniences of the city....A rare chance and incredible value that demands attention!
