Welcome to this stunning Mid-Century Post & Beam by Architect Edward Fickett, FAIA. Mr. Fickett helped to develop Sherman Oaks, Reseda & Granada Estates and is best known for more than 60,000 homes of his design, known as the 'Fickett houses'. Built in 1957, his home has been in the same family since 1960. Character and charm await you as you step through the double door entry. Vaulted ceilings and walls of glass make this home feel spacious as it brings the outdoors in. The flooring throughout the house consists of wood in the kitchen, laundry area and breakfast room with tile flooring in the rest of the home. The wood burning, gas starting fireplace in the living room is not only a focal point but made of slump block which you will also see in various areas of the home. The dining room which is adjacent to the living room also shares window views to the outdoors. The galley style kitchen with plenty of cupboards has granite counters with a counter bar for guests to sit and enjoy watching the 'happenings' in the kitchen. There is a separate formal breakfast room which is adjacent to the kitchen and has floor to ceiling windows - another way to bring the outdoors inside with a privacy wall in the front yard. The laundry room is adjacent to the kitchen and is decent size a cupboard for storage and room for a folding table. The hallway leading to the three bedrooms boasts a skylight to add to the light/bright feeling of this special home. The Master bedroom has a three-quarter bathroom and is located at the end of the hall. The other 2 other bedrooms look to the rear yard with sliding doors for access. Each bedroom has decent sized closets, large windows, tile flooring and vaulted ceilings. The rear yard is private and has a desert style area with a small walking path on the north side and then the other part of the yard has an inground pool for your summer fun & entertainment. A small courtyard, hand built by the current owner's mother shortly after purchasing the home in 1960, is just outside of the kitchen and leads you to either the rear yard or the two car detached garage. A few upgrades include double pane windows and sliding doors, two water heaters (replaced in 2023) and forced heating. This location is not far from Deervale-Stone Canyon Park, Fossil Ridge Park, hiking trails, lookout points, shopping and restaurants. Are you ready to own a Fickett House?
