24949 Old Stone Way, Stevenson Ranch, CA 91381

Welcome to Southern Oaks Estates, a hidden enclave of just 17 homes that rarely, if ever, come to market. This is not the original Southern Oaks. The Estates is its own private street with its own HOA, dramatically larger pads than the surrounding neighborhood, and unlike the newer construction nearby, NO Mello Roos tax. Built in 2015 and zoned for award-winning Pico Canyon Elementary, Rancho Pico Junior High, and West Ranch High School, this location delivers privacy, top schools, and an easy commute to Los Angeles, all roughly 1.5 miles from the 5 Freeway. Inside, you'll find what many consider the best floor plan in the entire community. A grand foyer, soaring ceilings, and a layout with zero wasted space. Every square foot works. The main level offers an expansive primary suite with soaking tub, separate shower, and oversized walk-in closet, plus a secondary ensuite bedroom perfect for guests or multi-generational living, and a convenient powder room. The chef's kitchen stuns with built-in Viking appliances, an oversized island with abundant storage, engineered hardwood flooring, a breakfast nook, butler's pantry, and formal dining room made for entertaining. And then the moment that defines the home: a massive accordion door that opens completely, erasing the line between indoors and out and delivering true California living every single day. Upstairs, brand-new carpet was just installed in September on the stairs and throughout the entire second level, making it move-in ready from day one. You'll also find a spacious loft, a laundry room with sink, and three additional oversized bedrooms, two with large walk-in closets, served by three full bathrooms. The backyard is the showstopper: an approximately 20,000 sq ft lot with no rear neighbors, centered around a $170,000 top-of-the-line saltwater pool and spa (completed 2018) with custom tile work and two cascading waterfalls. Add a grass area, plantation shutters throughout, a 4-car garage, and a low homeowner-managed HOA of just $279/month. With a recent model match closing at $2,050,000, this home represents exceptional value in one of Santa Clarita's most coveted addresses. Private showings available seven days a week.
