About this home

FIRST TIME ON THE MARKET IN 39 YEARS! CLOSE TO CSUN !! Discover a rare opportunity to own a well-loved Northridge residence in the heart of one of the San Fernando Valley’s most sought-after communities. Held by the same family for nearly four decades, this spacious 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom home offers approximately 1,727 square feet of living space on an expansive 7,500-square-foot lot—providing an exceptional foundation for creating your ideal home. Inside, classic character meets incredible potential. Original hardwood flooring adds timeless appeal, with additional hardwood flooring believed to be preserved beneath the existing carpet. The home features updated bathrooms, central AC, dual-pane windows, and excellent insulation designed for year-round comfort. A custom-built, permitted den provides valuable additional living space and flexibility for a family room, office, media room, or private retreat. A private gated front entry with an automatic gate enhances both privacy and curb appeal, while the attached 2-car garage provides convenience and ample storage. The true highlight is the generous lot and the possibilities it presents. With its substantial footprint and desirable Northridge location, the property offers exciting potential for an ADU or other future improvements, subject to applicable city and zoning requirements and buyer verification. Whether you're looking to thoughtfully renovate, expand, create additional living space, or simply bring your own vision to life, this property offers an extraordinary opportunity to build equity and customize a home for generations to come. Ideally positioned near California State University, Northridge (CSUN), schools, shopping, restaurants, parks, and everyday conveniences, the location places you in the center of everything Northridge has to offer. A rare combination of long-term family ownership, generous lot size, desirable location, original character, and tremendous upside potential—8531 Chimineas Avenue is ready for its next owner to unlock its full possibilities.
