About this home

Welcome to "Idyllwild" in Talmadge. Perched on a rare half-acre lot at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, this single-level estate offers a sense of scale and serenity that is nearly impossible to find. From the Craftsman-inspired architectural lines to the sweeping, unobstructed west-facing canyon views, every inch of this property feels like a private retreat. The main residence spans 2,731 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space, featuring newly refinished warm hardwood floors and an abundance of natural light. The layout includes three spacious bedrooms plus a versatile den with an extra annex that could easily serve as a fourth bedroom. The primary suite is a true sanctuary, positioned to capture those dramatic canyon vistas from almost every angle. Stepping outside, the property transforms into a tiered paradise. A massive upper deck serves as the ultimate stage for entertaining, overlooking the rustic hillside. Follow the charming, winding stone pathways down through the lush landscape to discover a hidden oasis: a sparkling PebbleTec pool complete with its own dedicated pool cabin. Whether you're gardening, exploring the hillside, or lounging by the water, the expansive lot offers a rural, getaway feel right in the heart of the city. Adding to the property's incredible value is a detached, permitted ADU. Currently utilized as a successful vacation rental, this 1 bedroom unit features its own private deck and entrance, offering a steady income stream or a sophisticated space for guests. Modern essentials are already in place, including owned solar panels, dual-paned windows, and central AC. Beyond the garage, a large, easily accessible basement area provides ample storage for all your gear. Located in the vibrant Talmadge community, you are moments away from celebrated local dining and boutiques, with effortless access to the 15, 8, 94, and 5 freeways. This isn't just a home; it's a once-in-a-generation legacy property.
