Hidden among the oaks of the Santa Susana Knolls, this enchanting hillside retreat captures the feeling of a storybook treehouse--where sunlight filters through the branches and nature becomes part of everyday living.
Perched in East Simi Valley, the home blends rustic charm with artistic spirit. Inside, the refreshed interiors offer warmth and comfort, with a welcoming living space centered around a wood-burning stove and windows that frame peaceful views of the surrounding hills.
The home's thoughtful layout includes two bedrooms on the main level and a third upstairs, offering flexibility for guests, creative work, or a quiet escape. The kitchen's built-in dining nook is the perfect place to start the day while enjoying views of the mountains and the gentle rustling of oak leaves outside.
Step outdoors and the setting truly shines. A spacious deck stretches into the canopy of trees, creating a magical place for outdoor dining, morning coffee, or imagine evenings gathered around a fire pit beneath the stars. A greenhouse and garden shed invite creativity--whether nurturing plants, painting, or transforming the space into a private art studio.
Surrounded by nature and close to nearby hiking trails, yet just minutes from shops and restaurants, this home offers the rare balance of peaceful retreat and everyday convenience.
