Summer starts here at this awesome Lake Balboa house that defines the California indoor-outdoor lifestyle, with an open-concept floor plan and your own super private, resort-like backyard featuring a recently redone sparkling pebble-finish pool with a dark blue interior, a bubbling hot tub and beautifully finished paver grounds surrounded by lush tropical landscaping. This newly painted, light and bright 3-bed, 2-bath house includes paid-off solar panels and features a spacious living room with a fireplace, an open-concept granite kitchen with rich mahogany-tone shaker cabinetry, a center island with breakfast bar, a dining area, a primary bedroom with an ensuite bathroom, two additional well-sized bedrooms, a hallway bathroom with a tub and double-sink vanity, a sunlit bonus room with floor-to-ceiling windows and a slider overlooking the backyard, a separate laundry room, a full 3rd outdoor bathroom for convenient poolside use and a long, wide gated driveway leading to a newly drywalled detached 2-car garage. Additional highlights include beautiful hardwood floors, double-pane windows, central air and heat, recessed lighting, ample outdoor storage, electric and plumbing upgrades. The step-down bonus room overlooking the gorgeous pool and backyard is the perfect flex space to use as a great room, family room, hangout zone, office, workout area or entertainer’s paradise - whatever fits your lifestyle alongside the main living room. Tucked on a quiet, tree-lined street with no direct access to main roads, where neighbors stroll with their dogs and wave hello, this mid-century house welcomes you with mature pomegranate and palm trees out front, a bold red door on the front porch, and a layout designed for comfortable living and entertaining friends and family, inside and out. Nearby Lake Balboa Park, golf courses, and an off-leash dog park offer endless outdoor activities, while easy access to the 101 and 405 freeways adds everyday convenience. Just 1.2 miles away, you'll find LA Fitness, Ralphs, Rite Aid, Starbucks, The UPS Store, and a variety of local eateries. Whether you're hosting poolside BBQs, enjoying peaceful evenings or simply soaking up the sun in your own private retreat, this Lake Balboa gem is ready to kickstart your lifestyle.
