On a tree-lined, family-filled street in the heart of Lake Balboa - a very special community in the Valley, and this home is on one of the three best blocks. The owners of this home have moved north for work, but are born and raised in Los Angeles, having lovingly upgraded and maintained this home since they bought it four years ago. Note: A long-term tenant occupies the guesthouse (separate entry, parks on street). Main house has full access to garage, driveway and front and back yards. Three beds and two baths with a spacious yard, updated kitchen and pet friendly. Charming 1,350 sq ft home on one of Lake Balboa's most beautiful tree-lined streets features original hardwood floors, an updated kitchen with modern finishes, central AC, Nest thermostat, and double-pane windows. The primary suite includes a walk-in closet and en-suite bath. One bedroom is set up with a built-in office, ideal for remote work. Bathrooms are redone, and the home includes a tankless water heater, a new roof (2022), and solar panels for energy efficiency. Enjoy a fully gated front yard with electric gate perfect for kids and pets plus a spacious backyard for entertaining. Includes a 2-car garage, long driveway, and ample street parking. All appliances provided, with an extra fridge in the garage if desired. Landscaping, solar, and home warranty covered by owner. Tenant pays LADWP, gas and internet.
