Over $75,000 in recent updates. This is NOT a Flip. True pride of ownership. The pool home everyone waits for in Lake Balboa. A newly refinished saltwater pool. On a tree lined street in Lake Balboa, where pool homes come up a few times a year and turnkey ones almost never. This is the one you don't have to fix. You just move in. The big things are already handled. Brand new roof. Fresh paint inside and out. New laminate flooring throughout. Updated dual pane windows with plantation shutters, recessed lighting, and ceiling fans in every room to keep the house comfortable through the hottest Valley afternoons. The expensive work is done. The cosmetic work is done. You get the keys and start living. The oversized galley kitchen was designed by a chef, and you can see it in the layout. Long stretches of white quartz counters give you serious prep space, while abundant white shaker cabinetry with soft close doors keeps everything within reach. An oversized stainless steel farmhouse sink sits beneath a bay window overlooking the backyard and pool, so you can keep an eye on the kids while dinner comes together. A pot filler over the stove, stainless appliances, and a built in wine fridge round it out. There's room to prep, cook, serve, and actually store everything a real kitchen needs. This isn't a kitchen designed just to look good in photos. It was built to be cooked in, every single day. Out back, the yard is private, low maintenance, and built around the pool. Fresh turf gives kids and pets room to run without a lawn to mow. Mature lemon and mandarin trees add color, shade, and a little California to the landscape. And the pool has been completely refreshed with new tile, new coping, Pebble Tec, and a saltwater system that's easy on skin and easy to maintain. Morning coffee by the water. Kids in the pool all afternoon. Dinner on the patio. Friends over on a Saturday night. This backyard doesn't just come with the house. It changes how you live in it. Even the garage gives you more. Already finished with drywall, it's ready to become a home office, gym, studio, or flex space the day you move in, with a pull down attic ladder above for the kind of extra storage that's hard to find. And when you do leave, you're minutes from Lake Balboa Park, the Sepulveda Basin off leash dog park, and the Sunday Encino Farmers Market, with shopping, dining, and freeway access all close by. Come see it before it's gone.
