Some homes are remodeled. Others are completely reimagined. Welcome to 2896 Wanda! Prepare to fall in love with a home that has been beautifully and extensively transformed since it was last on the market. Sophisticated yet warm, luxurious yet wonderfully livable, this is one of those rare properties where every space seems to offer another reason to stay. The spectacular chef's kitchen is truly the heart of the home, thoughtfully designed for serious cooking, effortless entertaining, and gathering with the people you love. The finishes, craftsmanship, and attention to detail throughout the residence create a home that feels polished, fresh, and completely turnkey. The primary suite feels like a private retreat, complete with a beautifully appointed spa-inspired bathroom and its own sauna, creating a true wellness experience right at home. It is the kind of luxury feature that transforms an everyday routine into something special. Then step outside, because this property becomes even more extraordinary. Tucked into the grounds is an enchanting treehouse that isn't just for looks, it's actually a place to sleep under the stars, creating the kind of magical experience both children and adults will remember forever. It gives the backyard a personality and charm that simply cannot be duplicated. Alongside the primary suite is an exceptionally generous side portion of the property, offering remarkable versatility and exciting possibilities for the future. The owners had envisioned utilizing this substantial space for an ADU, making it an intriguing opportunity for those considering multigenerational living, guest accommodations, a private retreat, or additional living space, subject to city approval and applicable requirements. Everywhere you look, 2896 Wanda offers something unexpected. Beautifully redesigned interiors, a dream chef's kitchen, a spa-like primary suite with sauna, exceptional outdoor space, a one-of-a-kind treehouse, and room to imagine even more. This isn't a home you fully appreciate by scrolling through photographs. You need to walk through it, experience it, and see the transformation for yourself. 2896 Wanda is drop-dead gorgeous, completely unforgettable, and ready for one very lucky buyer to call it home.

Simi Valley Town Center, located between Cochran Street and Tapo Canyon Road, is a retail and civic Simi Valley neighborhood with a mall-centric core and broad, palm-lined boulevards. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Simi Valley Town Center entrances along Cochran Street, where storefront promenades, patios, and steady foot traffic set the tempo. Community pillars include the Simi Valley Cultural Arts Center, the Strathearn Historical Park & Museum, and the Simi Valley Public Library. Architecture leans contemporary and auto-oriented, with low-rise shopping blocks and wide parking courts. Green breaks arrive at Rancho Simi Community Park and the Arroyo Simi Greenway. The surrounding hills frame the grid with a distinctly Ventura County horizon.

This wonderful one-story home sits on an expansive (10,797 sq. ft. per assessor) pie-shaped lot nicely located at the end of a cul-de-sac. Welcoming curb appeal greets you with colorful Lantana & Bougainvillea. An open and spacious step-down living room is anchored by beautiful fireplace. Custom wood valances adorn the windows in the living room, kitchen, and family room. Plastered walls plus stained-glass art accents in the kitchen and hallway lights add unique artistry touches to this home. There is plenty of wood cabinetry and counter space in the kitchen. A lovely arched doorway has been added to convert one of 4 bedrooms of the original floor plan to a formal dining room complete with a chair rail and crystal chandelier. You could convert it back if you would like that additional bedroom. Dramatic double doors open to a spacious primary bedroom. The attached bath features a long double vanity, tub, and separate shower in the water closet. The family room opens onto the massive wrap around covered patio which is perfect for outdoor entertaining or just enjoying a cool beverage while relaxing. Large shade trees in the yard add to this shady respite. A charming foot bridge leads you to a cozy gazebo nicely nestled at the back of the property. It's time to make this special home your own!
