This updated pool home is located on a picturesque, tree-lined street in one of the most highly sought-after pockets of Lake Balboa. Features include original hardwood flooring, dual pane windows, and an open-concept kitchen with granite countertops and stainless-steel appliances. A large family room with a wood-burning fireplace and sliding doors leading to the backyard boasts a designated dining area and plenty of room for gathering and relaxation. Originally built as a 3-bedroom home, two of the bedrooms have been intelligently combined and currently serve as one large primary bedroom. A future owner may choose to leave the floorplan as it is, or easily restore it back to a 3-bedroom. The attached 2-car garage has ADU potential and has been finished with drywall, stylish wood panels, vaulted beamed ceilings, and a mini-split air conditioning and heating unit. The backyard is ready for fun, with a large sparkling pool, spa, and multiple areas for entertaining. With close proximity to Lake Balboa Park, several golf courses, the Encino Farmers Market, and local dog park, and with easy access to the 101 and 405 freeways, this property is not to be missed.
