18914 Malden St Welcome to this character-filled California Ranch tucked away on a quiet Northridge cul-de-sac. Warm, inviting, and full of personality, this home has a distinctly mid-century-maintained interior that feels anything but cookie-cutter. Inside, rich wood paneling, warm tones, clean lines, and thoughtful details create a relaxed, vintage-inspired vibe. The spacious living room with original hard-wood parquet flooring, anchored by the unaltered stone fireplace, offers multiple pathways that flow into the kitchen and dining room, adjoining the bonus 330+ square foot enclosed patio that offers plenty of space to gather, relax, and entertain. The generously sized primary suite provides a comfortable retreat, with two additional bedrooms offering flexibility for family, guests, or a home office. Outside, the expansive lot provides ample greenery that creates an inviting setting for enjoying the California lifestyle, complete with a heater-equipped stock-tank pool that adds a playful touch and makes the backyard feel like your own secret-garden escape. With its classic California Ranch architecture, mid-century-revived interiors, and abundance of personality, this charismatic home simply feels different. Conveniently located near CSUN in a growing neighborhood with new coffee shops, breweries, shopping, restaurants, Costco, Lowe's, Home Depot, and more. Other recent updates include a new roof and water heater, both installed in 2023.
