Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1982 (42 years old), the property has received cosmetic updates including hardwood-style vinyl flooring and paint. However, the kitchen remains dated with older painted cabinetry and appliances, and the presence of popcorn ceilings throughout indicates the home has not undergone a full modern renovation within the last 15 years.
The unique multi-level layout includes a converted loft and a split-bedroom floor plan, providing a dedicated office space and enhanced privacy for the primary suite.
An attached two-car garage with direct entry into the home offers a level of convenience and security rarely found in standard condominium units.
Soaring ceilings, abundant natural light, and a private balcony create an open, airy atmosphere that makes the 1,495 square feet feel even more expansive.
The numerous stairs required to access the main living area and navigate the home may limit appeal for buyers seeking single-level living or improved accessibility.
Built in 1982, the unit may require modernization of systems or interior finishes to compete with newer developments in the Sylmar area.
Welcome to 12637 Ralston Avenue, Unit 5, where space, privacy, and a unique multi-level layout come together in the heart of Sylmar. Enter from either the front of the unit or through the lower-level attached two-car garage, which provides direct access into the home. Head upstairs to a bright and open main living area featuring soaring ceilings, abundant natural light, hardwood-style vinyl flooring, a fireplace, and a private balcony perfect for enjoying some fresh air. The converted loft overlooks the front of the community and creates a true dedicated office, study, or creative space without sacrificing one of the home’s three bedrooms. The split-bedroom floor plan adds extra privacy, with two secondary bedrooms and a full bathroom positioned on one side of the home, while the primary suite is tucked away on the opposite side. The spacious primary retreat features high ceilings, generous closet space, and a private bathroom with dual sinks. With 3 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, ample storage, ceiling fans, direct garage access, and a flexible floor plan, this home offers much more than the average condo. Located in a quiet community with a swimming pool and plenty of guest parking, this is a great opportunity to own a home that delivers space, comfort, and functionality.
