6657 Cantaloupe Ave, Valley Glen, CA 91405

Wow! This Mid-Century Modern jewel just sparkles. Located in a terrific Valley Glen location, it combines classic California curb with simple and bright interiors. Moving forward, a drought-tolerant yard leads to a covered porch. Here you enter a small slate-floored vestibule, then on to a parquet-floored open space that combines living room and dining room; flanked on one side by a wall of glass and the other with paned windows, flooding the interior with natural light. The eat-in kitchen has vintage tile and modern amenity, a large pass-through opening to the living area and access to the garage. To the rear of the home are three ample bedrooms and a hall bath. The backyard is huge and is split into three distinctive spaces. Off the living room, the flow continues to a covered patio that is encircled with beautiful plantings, a fountain and towering palm trees. It has the feel of a great atrium, designed perfectly for outdoor dining. A rear bedroom opens to a second covered patio, and then on to a vegetable garden and a large grassy area centered with another patio, intended as an outdoor living room. It is a simple creed; bring the outdoors in, and the hammering, honking world will fall away. This is a home to live that life.
