3 Bed/1.75 Bath with 1,341 sqft on a total lot size of 7,488 sqft built in 1956 is currently available for $349,999. This home was designed with the "Cinderella" architecture that I talked about here that can be found throughout the Valley. According to the listing, this home will be filmed for HGTV on June 12th but no mention of what show or the reason. This home was last sold on May 11, 2009 for $310,000 as a bank sale so I am assuming that the current owners spent a considerable amount of money to renovate the home but probably also utilized the $8K tax credit to help with the renovation. For any prospective buyers, keep in mind that this home is located on a busy Owensmouth street and verify that there is copper plumbing, adequate A/C, and insulation.

Anything and everything about the San Fernando Valley. This blog will take you back in time when the valley was covered with dirt and orange groves to a leader in the space race to its current status as America's suburb. Come along and join me on this adventure, I guarantee you have been influenced/impacted by the San Fernando Valley in one form or another even if you have never visited or heard of the SFV.
"Maplewood" model. Floorplan 78. Hate when these are "updated", but that's just my opinion. At least they kept the brick fireplace intact...
