This picture-perfect home sits in one of Lake Balboa’s most sought-after pockets, offering warmth, charm, and beautifully curated updates throughout. The inviting curb appeal sets the tone, leading into a light-filled, partially open-concept living area with refinished original hardwood floors, a cozy fireplace, and an adjacent dining room. The showstopping kitchen—remodeled in 2020—is truly exceptional for this price point, featuring high-end custom cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and an oversized quartzite-topped peninsula ideal for cooking, gathering, or entertaining. Just off the kitchen is a spacious family room anchored by a unique atrium that provides the center of the home with natural light. Thoughtful bedroom separation includes generously sized rooms and a large primary suite with its own en-suite bath and sliding doors that open directly to the backyard. Outside, twenty-five-foot Cypress trees create a private, serene backdrop perfect for relaxation or play. Significant upgrades include a newer 40-year roof, tankless water heater, newer 5-ton HVAC, 200-amp electrical panel, and a newly retrofitted foundation—providing peace of mind for years to come. With close proximity to the 101 and 405, Lake Balboa Park, the Encino Farmers Market, a local dog park, multiple golf courses, and Mikas Tennis & Pickleball Academy, this home checks all the boxes.
