Description
Welcome to this meticulously maintained 3-bedroom home in Lake Balboa offering a generous 1,430 sq. ft. of living space on a 6,000+ sq. ft. lot in one of the neighborhood's most desirable pockets, bordering Sherwood Forest and Northridge. This inviting residence combines comfort, value, and style and is truly a rare opportunity for today's buyers seeking an affordable Los Angeles home with privacy, space, and a backyard retreat of their own. Step inside to discover a flowing floor plan that's ideal for both daily living and entertaining friends and family. The neutral, yet tastefully curated color palette creates a calm, inviting ambiance throughout, accentuating an abundance of natural light. The versatile and large bonus room provides endless flexibility, perfect for home office space, creative studio, playroom, or cozy family room lounging. The elegantly finished kitchen offers a farmhouse sink, soft-close cabinetry, stainless-steel five-burner range, refrigerator and dishwasher, blending modern function with timeless appeal. Enjoy the convenience of the inside laundry room (including washer and dryer), located just off the kitchen. Step outside to your private, Zen-inspired backyard oasis, complete with lush greenery, fountains and porcelain tile patio with lovely pergola. Native plants include Milkweed and Red Monarda specifically to attract butterflies and hummingbirds, respectively. An ideal setting for morning coffee, summer barbecues, or simply relaxing under the California sun. The detached two-car garage provides more than ample storage and perhaps the potential for a future ADU conversion (buyer, of course, to verify). Most recent updates include the virtually brand-new tankless water heater and a newer HVAC system for year-round comfort and energy efficiency. This lovely home is located within a short distance of highly rated Stagg Street Elementary, and just minutes from Cal State University Northridge (CSUN), Lake Balboa Park, local golf courses, and the area's popular off-leash dog park. Everyday conveniences are close at hand with Ralphs, Target, LA Fitness, Starbucks, and a selection of neighborhood restaurants within a mile or two away. Super-Easy freeway access to the 101 and 405 puts the entire Valley, Burbank, Hollywood, and the Westside all within quick reach. With HOA fees rising across local condos and townhomes, the opportunity to own a Lake Balboa single-family home at this attractive price point with no HOA is exceptional. Don't miss your chance to secure a move-in-ready home with a private yard in one of the San Fernando Valley's flourishing and most affordable communities.
