Rarely does a property come along that offers a superior Burbank Hillside location, size and family friendly floor plan, updated systems and interior finishes, all combined with one of a kind exterior front and rear yard spaces providing a "mountain retreat vibe" with a total sense of serenity and privacy - Welcome to 906 Groton Drive!
Set back from the lightly trafficked/not a through street, on an elevated 8,691 sq. ft. lot, the home, which was originally built in 1954 and expanded & substantially remodeled in 2007, offers 3 Bedrooms (including a Master Suite), 3 Baths, Family Room, Den/Office, plus a huge, beautifully remodeled Kitchen - all in 2,550 sq. ft. (both house & lot square footage figures are per Assessor).
Striking first impressions abound with the home's clean, modern "split level" style that features water saving/easy care artificial turf with handsome brick walkways, planter spaces and easy care landscape interspersed. Additionally, at the South side of the front yard you'll see and hear the soothing sound of a 27 ft. long running stream that cascades down from the crest of the front yard and continuously recirculates via a concealed pump at the base of the feature. Entering the home from an inviting enclosed brick front porch and through a handsome dual panel front door, you step into a flexible Living room, or as currently utilized, a Dining space that is conveniently adjacent to the open and beautifully remodeled Kitchen. A large bank of custom cabinetry topped with granite delineates the Kitchen from the Living/Dining space and provides convenient serving and entertainment flexibility. Beautiful wide plank hardwood flooring, recessed lighting and smooth ceilings enhanced with crown molding that are present in the Living/Dining space, continue into the stunning and expansive Kitchen, which offers a abundance of antique faux finish cabinetry (including generous pantry space with pullouts), granite counters with "tumbled travertine tile" backsplash, Dining Bar, handy prep/service island with additional storage, custom built-in refrigerator/freezer that matches the surrounding cabinetry, dishwasher, built-in double oven, cooktop and microwave plus a separate Laundry room (NOTE: Current Washer & Dryer included in sale; current gas cooktop will be replaced with stainless steel unit prior to COE).
The Kitchen flows beautifully into a nice Family room that offers the same wide plank hardwood flooring, crown molding, wood-burning fireplace, mounted surround sound audio speakers and views and access to a covered alcove/sitting area with durable Trex flooring and the incredible rear yard. Adjacent to the Family room is one of the three Bedrooms, complete with a remodeled three-quarter Bathroom featuring travertine flooring, enclosed shower with "honed tile" walls and "tumbled travertine" tile flooring along with a large pedestal sink. On the opposite side of the Family room, you'll find a second Bedroom updated with sliding mirrored doors closet space and a "peek a boo" city view. Adjacent to the second Bedroom is a second three-quarter Bathroom updated with a marble surrounded sink & vanity and the same beautiful travertine flooring and "honed tile" & "tumbled travertine tile" in the enclosed shower. Next, you'll find a charming Den/Office space with a recessed nook - a perfect at home work space that provides not only a view of nature, but also access to a beautifully constructed cantilevered Deck made of durable "Trex" building material. The Deck is the absolute perfect setting to enjoy morning coffee or a evening cocktail while basking in the surrounding foliage and soothing sounds of nature and the nearby running stream. Finally, at the front of the home, is the large Master Bedroom Suite, which is light filled, thanks to several double pane windows with custom window treatments. The suite also includes large organized His & Her closet spaces with sliding doors, ceiling fan, as well as the same wide plank hardwood flooring, recessed lighting surrounded by smooth ceilings, plus a unique "split" Master Bath - one space essentially a water closet with toilet, marble topped sink and travertine flooring, and directly adjacent, a space featuring a vanity and sink surrounded by marble, travertine tile flooring and another large enclosed shower featuring the aforementioned honed and tumbled travertine tile.
The huge, fenced/enclosed rear yard is a veritable nature preserve, with a variety of bird and wildlife inhabiting the beautiful adjacent City of Burbank maintained hillside (Burbank Fire Dept. clears brush and removes diseased/dying trees annually, at no cost to the homeowner). The yard has been updated with the same easy care and money saving artificial turf as found in the front yard. Additionally, the yard offers a removable 'pop up" Cabana (included in sale) that provides another outdoor dining/entertaining area, a small fish pond with fountain, as well as an elevated "chilllaxing" spot with a front row hammock view of Nature's beauty. Make no mistake, these side deck and yard spaces comprise one of the most unique and beautiful private settings ever offered with a Burbank (Hillside) home sale!
Major Updates: As mentioned, a major remodel of the home was undertaken in 2007. The home was expanded towards the front/street. In addition to the complete Kitchen remodel, the Master Suite & Bath were reconfigured/remodeled, as were the other two Bathrooms; the entire home was replumbed with copper, including the mainline; new roof was installed; double pane windows throughout the entire home were installed; new electrical was installed and panel relocated; and new central air and heating systems were installed. There is also a large 2-car attached garage with auto opener. A "garage refrigerator" is also included in the sale!
