Newly refreshed interiors, generous gathering spaces, and a tree-shaded backyard make this Lake Balboa home an inviting opportunity to settle in and make it your own. Offered for the first time since the family purchased it more than 50 years ago, this longtime family home is ready to become the backdrop for a new generation of memories. Tucked away on a cozy, non-through street, the home offers 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms across nearly 1,900 sq ft on a 6,752 sq ft lot. Classic character is paired with fresh interior paint, dual-pane windows, central heating & air, new carpeting, and new wide-plank vinyl flooring in the kitchen and laundry room. White vinyl fencing frames the front yard, with a pedestrian gate leading to a covered porch and a matching driveway gate completing the enclosed frontage. Inside, the formal living room features crown molding and plantation shutters, flowing through a formal dining room with built-in cabinetry into an expansive family room. A corner fireplace with a natural stone surround and raised hearth anchors this comfortable gathering space, while sliding glass doors connect it to the backyard for easy indoor-outdoor entertaining. The kitchen offers white cabinetry, a gas range, and a bright breakfast nook that provides everyday dining space or possibilities for a future kitchen redesign. Three comfortably sized bedrooms include a spacious primary with a full en-suite bathroom and dual-sink vanity; a full hall bathroom serves the additional bedrooms. Outdoors, a broad covered patio creates room for dining and lounging, while mature trees and an ample yard offer space to garden, play, or create a personalized outdoor retreat. A detached two-car garage and leased solar panels complete the property. Enjoy Lake Balboa’s established residential setting, local shopping and dining, and access to the 101 and 405 freeways, with Lake Balboa Park and the Sepulveda Basin’s walking paths, bike routes, and recreation areas adding to the neighborhood’s appeal. With refreshed finishes and room to evolve, this home offers a comfortable starting point for your next chapter.
