Description

This is LAKE BALBOA'S PREMIER ENTERTAINER'S BACKYARD. Nestled in an EXCLUSIVE, HISTORIC neighborhood originally developed for postwar military officials, the quarter-acre lot offers serene isolation due to the perfectly manicured foliage. Despite all this, the tremendous swimming pool commands the center of attention. Welcome home to a sacred neighborhood.

The backyard also hosts a shaded bar, along with a patio cover attached to the house. A spacious shed in the corner ties it all together. This backyard defines prestige.

The house itself opens to a dramatic open-floor living room. An oversized window allows you soak in magical Los Angeles sunsets. The kitchen boasts classy green imported granite countertops accented by stylish darker custom cabinets. The enormous center island gives purpose and function to the living room. Smooth ceilings, recessed lights, and a mid-century modern fireplace complete this house as an elite entertainer's house.

The first bedroom possesses an upgraded classic stone-tile bathroom with shower that CONNECTS to the backyard - it doubles as a pool bathroom! The other two bedrooms share a hallway bathroom which is also upgraded in stone.

Leased solar panels for ONLY $50/month and a NEW roof complete this perfect home.

But if none of this convinces you then just know this - Lake Balboa is the Valley's fastest appreciating zip code. It's Encino's entry-level neighborhood. But you already know - this is more than a financial investment. This is an investment in the quality of your life.
