About This Home
Located on one of the most picturesque blocks in Lake Balboa, this lovingly maintained home has been cared for and thoughtfully updated by the same owner for an incredible 66 years. From the moment you arrive, the charming curb appeal sets the tone, highlighted by a convenient wrap-around driveway and beautifully kept landscaping. Inside, the home offers three bedrooms, including an en-suite, and two bathrooms. The living, family, and dining areas feel open and connected while still offering distinct spaces for entertaining, sharing a meal, or simply relaxing at home. The updated kitchen features granite countertops, generous cabinet and pantry space, and a charming seating area set beneath a large garden window. A built-in desk nook provides the perfect spot for a small home office or homework station, while the washer and dryer are neatly tucked away in their own cabinet for added convenience. The bedrooms retain their original character and are filled with soft natural light, adding to the home's welcoming feel. Step outside and you'll discover a backyard with true wow factor. Extra-tall hedges provide exceptional privacy, while the beautifully maintained landscaping and hardscaping create a serene outdoor setting filled with mature flowers, foliage, and abundant citrus trees. All of this is just moments from the natural beauty of Lake Balboa Park, multiple golf courses, the Japanese Garden, Sepulveda Basin Off-Leash Dog Park, and the Encino Farmers Market, with convenient access to the 101 and 405 freewaysmaking this a truly special place to call home.
