Presenting 5050 Escobedo, a charming, 3 bed, 2 bath sanctuary with breathtaking views and wooded hillsides, which will have you believing you’re in Idylwild or Arrowhead.

Prepare great meals in your gourmet, Fresh Vintage kitchen nicely appointed with quartz countertops and Viking and Bosch appliances. Extend the party outdoors to your private backyard with multiple seating areas and watch guests marvel at the forever views of city lights and rustic pines. Sleep soundly and wake easily to a gentle rising sun in the east-facing primary ensuite bedroom. Get creative and work from home in a quiet, west-facing office with tons of late afternoon and evening light. Curl up in front of a wood burning fireplace and enjoy crisp fall mornings and nights from your cozy living room. And fear not those sweltering, summer Valley days as you relax lazily poolside while the soundtrack of your life plays softly through a hard-wired sound system. Nestled on a peaceful walkable street, this beautiful writer’s retreat is located in the highly rated Woodland Hills Elementary Charter School District and the community’s many conveniences are minutes away; Valley Country Market, Blue Bottle Coffee, Whole Foods, Serrania Park, Woodland Hills Country Club and Warner Center.
