Description
This cute as a button Lake Balboa gem will steal your heart! At 1,480 SF with 3 bedrooms, 1.75 baths, a large permitted bonus room, and a detached two-car garage, this charming home has been owned and loved by the same family for decades, and bursts with pride of ownership. The floor plan is well thought-out, balancing privacy for the bedrooms with a great flow for entertaining in the communal areas. Up the steps from the porch through the front door, you're welcomed by the bright and inviting living and dining rooms, with windows letting in natural sunlight and views of the freshly landscaped front yard, with a gorgeous flowering Golden Raintree as its centerpiece. Off of the dining room is a large kitchen with lots of open space and abundant cabinetry for storage. Just past the three-quarter bath and laundry area is the permitted bonus room that can also be accessed by a separate entrance from the backyard. It's a great flex space that could fulfill a variety of needs, including serving as a home office, game room, study room, home gym, etc. A detached 2-car garage at the end of a long driveway, plus grassy lawns, new carpet, and fresh interior and exterior paint make this special home ready for you to move right in and make your own! Within just minutes of the 101 and 405 Freeways, Lake Balboa Park, the Sepulveda Basin Recreation Area, the Orange Line, and all the shops, restaurants, bars, and cafes along Ventura Boulevard, its prime Lake Balboa location can't be beat!
