Large tree lined street with limited traffic very close to Balboa park Van Nuys Airport, Valley Metro Line, and freeways. House needs work but basics are there. Continuous 3 bedroom 1 bath, kitchen has been opened to dining and living room. Large patio with trellis in the back for outdoor living with French doors leading to lawn area and pool. (pool will need to be replastered) Garage is attached to house in the front so back yard is great for entertaining. Side yard is large enough for a vehicle with easy access. The kitchen was replaced with an IKEA industrial look and stainless appliances.
