Property Description
Situated in one of Lake Balboa's most sought-after pockets, this beautifully upgraded 3-bedroom, 2-bath home is ideally located on a peaceful cul-de-sac with only eight homes. Just minutes from Hollywood, Burbank, upscale dining, and major freeways, this home offers the perfect blend of convenience, comfort, and privacy. A gated, drought-tolerant front yard with rock landscaping and drip irrigation sets a welcoming tone. Pass through the charming covered entry to a custom beveled glass front door and step into a bright, modern interior. The home features wood laminate flooring throughout (no carpet), crown molding, recessed lighting, and a fresh grey-and-white color palette. The open-concept great room invites you in with a cozy fireplace and a dedicated dining area. The adjacent kitchen boasts diamond-pattern travertine tile flooring, abundant maple cabinetry, a sunny window seat, and updated appliances including a 4-burner cooktop, built-in oven, microwave, stainless dishwasher, and sleek porcelain sink with a custom rack. A convenient pass-through connects the kitchen to the living space, making entertaining effortless. Just beyond is an indoor laundry area with washer, dryer, matching cabinetry for storage, and a side door to the long driveway side of the home. The spacious primary suite overlooks the backyard paradise and features two closets, a ceiling fan, and a beautifully remodeled en-suite bathroom with a large custom-tiled walk-in shower and plenty of natural light. Two additional bedrooms, each with wood laminate flooring, ceiling fans, and plantation shutters, are served by an updated hall bathroom with a jetted tub/shower combo, tile flooring, and excellent storage. Step outside and escape to your private resort-style backyard. A stunning, rock-trimmed heated pool and elevated spa are surrounded by stamped concrete, lush tropical landscaping, and multiple sitting areas--perfect for relaxing or entertaining. A covered patio off the family room connects seamlessly to this outdoor oasis. The long, gated driveway leads to a detached 2-car garage, ideal for future ADU conversion--already a popular option in the neighborhood. A side gate adds easy access to the backyard retreat. Additional features include seller-owned solar (with payoff or assumable balance), ample off-street parking, and a location that is stellar. This is more than a home--it's a lifestyle. Location, design, potential, and your very own backyard paradise await!
