Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1951, the property is well-maintained but significantly dated. While it features cosmetic refreshes like new paint, refinished hardwood, and new vinyl in the kitchen, the core kitchen and bathroom components appear to be original or several decades old. The presence of popcorn ceilings and vintage tile indicates the home needs modernization of major systems and surfaces to meet current standards.
Situated in the prestigious Ben Mar Hills of Burbank, the property offers exceptional valley views and a quiet setting with minimal through traffic, highly desirable for privacy-seeking buyers.
The home features a dramatic rear family room with exposed wood beams and walls of windows, complemented by freshly refinished hardwood floors and updated interiors that blend classic charm with modern freshness.
With an extended garage suitable for a workshop and a terraced lot offering space for a future pool or ADU, the property provides significant upside for customization and value-add projects.
Originally built in 1951, the home may require further modernization of its core systems and wet areas to meet the expectations of buyers looking for a fully contemporary luxury residence.
The terraced hillside topography, while excellent for views, limits the amount of flat, usable yard space for traditional recreational activities or play areas compared to level lots.
High in the Burbank Hills sits this charming Ben Mar Hills home, ideally positioned between two streets with minimal through traffic and beautiful views across the valley. 1818 Hilton Drive offers the kind of location that keeps Burbank buyers looking north of Glenoaks. Inside, freshly painted interiors and beautifully refinished hardwood floors create a bright, warm backdrop throughout the home. A classic fireplace anchors the living room, while the separate dining area opens through sliding glass doors, bringing in natural light and creating an easy connection to the outdoors. One of the home’s most memorable spaces is the expansive rear family room, where dramatic exposed wood beams and walls of windows frame the surrounding hillside. The kitchen features rich wood cabinetry that has been freshly refinished, along with space for a breakfast area and new luxury vinyl flooring that continues into the adjacent laundry area. Generously sized bedrooms, ample storage and a primary bath with dual sinks add to the home’s comfortable and functional floor plan. An extended garage provides additional space and versatility for parking, storage, hobbies or a workshop area. Outside, mature landscaping, citrus trees and a terraced hillside create a classic Southern California setting with room to garden, entertain or explore the possibilities for a future pool, spa or expanded outdoor living. With its hillside position and impressive valley views, the property may also offer intriguing possibilities for future expansion. Buyers are encouraged to investigate development and permitting options with the appropriate agencies. The location is exceptional, just minutes from DeBell Golf Club, the Starlight Bowl, Wildwood Canyon, Downtown Burbank, shopping and dining, with Burbank’s highly regarded elementary and middle schools nearby and Bel Aire Ball Field just a short walk away. Disney, Warner Bros., Universal and the area’s major studios are also close by. Warmth, character, views and an unmistakably Burbank Hills setting make 1818 Hilton a special place to call home, ready for its next chapter.
