About this House

Big, bright, and with lots of little extras in Lake Balboa!

This lovely, 3 Bdr + Bonus room sizable home is clean and bright, and yet retains its much of its original character via built-in shelving and other little details. The primary bedroom was converted from a garage and therefore is quite large and has the feel of its own private space.

A nice formal dining area extends off the the kitchen, and there's a bar nook off the den with the fireplace, giving the house a feeling of many different areas to relax, enjoy, or entertain. Much of the home still has the original hardwood flooring!

A big driveway will accommodate parking for several cars, and a lush fenced (back) yard is perfect for children.

Come see for yourself all the little extras this home has to offer!
