5339 Seneca Place, Simi Valley, CA 93063

Some homes just work. The layout makes sense. The backyard actually gets used. The neighborhood feels right the moment you turn onto the street. This is that home. Tucked behind a wide brick-lined driveway in the heart of Indian Hills Estates, this 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom home delivers the space, flexibility, and livability that most families can only dream of.

At 3,030 square feet on a 16,552 square foot lot, with a 3-car garage, pool, spa, and a backyard designed for real outdoor living, this is a home built around the way people actually live. No HOA. -- Room to Gather -- Double entry doors open to a marble-floored foyer with soaring vaulted ceilings, setting the tone for a floor plan that flows naturally.

Abundant natural light pours through oversized windows, giving every room a warmth photographs can't fully capture. The formal living room with its white gas fireplace opens to the backyard through a slider, as does the chandelier-lit dining room beyond.

The family room is where everyday life will unfold -- hardwood floors, a brick gas fireplace, a wet bar, and sliding doors that extend the living space outside. The kitchen keeps the cook connected to the action, with a center island, 4-burner gas range, double built-in oven with microwave/convection on top, and a breakfast nook with bay window and coffered ceiling.

-- Room for Everyone -- A main-level bedroom with a nearby full bathroom makes multigenerational living, guest stays, or a home office practical. Upstairs, an extra-wide staircase leads to a catwalk overlooking both the entry and formal living room, with secondary bedrooms and the primary suite on opposite ends for privacy.

Individual attic fans in the upstairs bedrooms provide a smart, energy-efficient cooling solution. The primary suite is a comfortable retreat -- double door entry, vaulted ceilings, a sitting area with brick fireplace, a separate mini-split HVAC system, and an en suite bath with soaking tub, tile shower, dual-sink vanity, and walk-in closet.

The 3-car attached garage includes direct access and built-in storage. A laundry room with included LG washer and dryer is a bonus. -- The Backyard -- The Pebble Tec pool and spillover spa anchor an outdoor living space surrounded by stamped concrete patios, river rock accents, stacked block planters, and mature landscaping -- palms, roses, and succulents -- all framed by no rear neighbors.

It's the kind of backyard that makes summer feel like a lifestyle, not a season. -- The Neighborhood -- Indian Hills Estates is the kind of community people move into and never want to leave. Tree-lined streets, well-kept homes, and a genuine neighborhood feel -- with Simi Hills Golf Course practically at your doorstep, a Ted Robinson-designed par-71 championship course.

Parks, hiking trails, and open space are all within easy reach, along with the schools of the Simi Valley Unified School District, the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library, Trader Joe's, Sprouts, and a full range of dining and retail -- with the 118 Freeway close by when the city calls. This is California living with room to breathe -- a home that grows with you and a neighborhood worth putting down roots in.
