Come see this perfect home with a family room addition in desirable Reseda. Walking distance to elementary and high schools. With so much new, there's nothing to do but move in! Just completed is a brand new roof, completely repainted interior walls & trim, new carpet, and freshly refinished, gleaming oak floors which run throughout almost the entire home. Newer siding and windows. Six panel doors throughout. Very large kitchen with an added row of cabinets and serving area. The original family room has been converted into an oversized eating area with its own cozy fireplace, while the addition with its vaulted ceilings, additional fireplace, and skylights has now become the family room. Four large bedrooms all with hardwood floors and 2 full baths upstairs, 1 with a Jacuzzi tub! Huge walk in closet in the master. A full basement that has been partially finished, newer water heater & dryer. Professionally landscaped. Home warranty for that extra piece of mind
