7134 Stansbury Ave, Van Nuys, CA 91405

Amazing opportunity with a single-story 3 bed, 2 bath 1955 home in an established Van Nuys neighborhood to creatively reimagine the property. This property is ripe with possibilities to update and upgrade the current structure, reimagine the existing footprint, or develop and expand to create an incredible investment. Mature landscaping and a broad driveway lead up to the property, while inside, original hardwood floors and a dramatic floor-to-ceiling brick fireplace immediately reveal some of the home's mid-century character. The layout unfolds through a series of generous living spaces, beginning with the living room, anchored by the dramatic fireplace, and dining area before moving into the kitchen with abundant cabinetry and a casual eating area overlooking the rear of the property. Beyond is an spacious wood-paneled family room, where a full wall of built-in open shelving creates a distinctive architectural focal point and large sliding doors extend the living space into an enclosed sunroom overlooking the yard. Three bedrooms offer substantial built-in storage, while both bathrooms have seen updates, including one with a large walk-in shower and frameless glass enclosure. The finished and enclosed garage creates intriguing possibilities for an office, studio, recreation room, gym or other flexible use. Outside, the approximately 8,077-square-foot lot provides a substantial backyard with mature palms, tropical plantings, artificial turf, patio areas and room to rethink the landscape for entertaining, play, gardening or a more ambitious future vision. The property abounds with potential and can be reworked and customized to suit personal preferences, but its combination of lot size, existing character and adaptable spaces provides a strong foundation for improvement. Conveniently located near neighborhood shopping and dining, major Valley thoroughfares and the extensive recreational amenities of the Sepulveda Basin, including Lake Balboa, Woodley Park, golf, trails and open space, this is a compelling opportunity to transform an established home into something distinctly your own.
