Description

This beautifully updated four-bedroom, two-bathroom mid-century ranch is nestled in the serene and sought-after neighborhood of Lake Balboa. A large picture window floods the living room with natural light, while the adjacent dining area opens to a bright, remodeled kitchen featuring custom white wood cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, a slate subway tile backsplash, and granite countertops. The primary bedroom opens to the backyard through elegant French doors, while the oversized front guest bedroom offers versatility as a den or potential future ADU. The guest bedroom and primary bedroom flank a fourth bedroom, currently used as a walk-in closet. The private backyard is a true retreat, offering a sitting area, a dining space on a newer elevated deck, and a newly refurbished sparkling saltwater pool and spa with an upgraded pump and filter. Two remodeled bathrooms complete the home's comfortable layout. Additional upgrades include hardwood floors throughout, newer copper plumbing, a tankless water heater, an upgraded electrical system, newer windows, HVAC, new light fixtures, and a newer roof. Located within the Lemay Elementary School district and just steps from Lake Balboa Park, the Japanese Garden, Encino Farmers Market, Woodley Lakes Golf Course, Metro access, bike paths, and the Sepulveda Basin Dog Park. Finishing touches include a sprawling turf lawn, fresh landscaping, and a Palm Springs-style carport with parking for multiple cars offering both curb appeal and convenience.
This property is off market, which means it's not currently listed for sale or rent on Trulia. This may be different from what's available on other websites or public sources. This description is from July 25, 2025
