This custom stone estate ranch built by Ronnie Hopkins exudes quality and grandeur before you reach the door. Stone construction, solid-core doors with the weight and feel of something built to last, and an expansive porte cochere that ensures every arrival happens under cover and in style. The interior has been shaped by everyone who loved it. A previous owner's remodel brought textured Art Deco wallpaper through the foyer and gallery hallway and custom granite and marble surrounds to both gas fireplaces. The current owners remodeled the kitchen: sage green lower cabinetry, warm white uppers, new granite countertops/backsplash, and a lighted coffee bar with open shelving that displays your farmhouse decor as well as your java essentials. A full-height industrial sliding door connects the formal living room to the studio den: private entrance, wet bar, built-ins, desk, and east-facing windows. The cedar sauna in the owner's en suite means the end of a hard day doesn't require a drive across town. Claw-foot tub, dual vanities, gas fireplace in the bedroom. The 3-car garage gives part of the third bay to a safe room that holds the whole family and the pets when the sirens sound. Nobody huddles in a closet. When the day is done, the covered porch and swim spa out back make staying home the easy choice. Walkthrough video and 360º tour available. Popular Grove schools in the original Northridge addition.
