3+2 Lake Balboa pool home on a big 10,408 sqft lot!

Wow! Calling all contractors, investors & ambitious future homeowners! Reduced to sell NOW, well below relevant comps! Charming yellow & white rustic pool home on a BIG lot (approx 50% larger than area average) oozes charm with many vintage features inside & out! Needs a few modest to significant updates/repairs but this great home has tons of potential! Many major updates over 10-12 yrs, per Seller, including roof, copper plumbing, sewer line!

From this home’s charming curb appeal to its uncommonly large, deep backyard with inviting pool, this Lake Balboa home has it all! Owned by the same family since 1955, this amazing classic is perfect for family or adult living! Situated among a small handful of homes built on lots significantly larger than the neighborhood average, this home is indeed a rare find in popular Lake Balboa!

Inside, this home features many custom touches, as well as rich wood laminate flooring and new paint throughout! The heart of this home is its bright, open living room with beautiful vaulted, open-beamed ceiling, brick fireplace, and a unique Dutch (2-piece, upper & lower) door & wall of windows opening to and overlooking the big backyard. This welcoming backyard, in addition to the good-sized pool and patio area, also features citrus & palm trees and a large open area at the back of the lot! With plenty of room for grass, play area & more (could an Accessory Dwelling Unit be possible?), this rear lot area has TONS of potential!

Adjacent to the living room and off the warm, rustic kitchen is a separate good-size dining room! The warm kitchen features a breakfast area, double-sink, and classic wood cabinetry ready for an oven/range & dishwasher! Off the kitchen is a separate in-home laundry room with gas dryer connection, built-in cabinetry, and a side door opening to the rear yard, also providing easy access to the garage!

Regarding the home’s sleeping areas, two of the home’s three bedrooms are off a separate hallway with built-in cabinetry and share a good-size retro hall bath with tub & shower, linen cabinet and extensive tile! The rear bedroom has two closets and overlooks the backyard! The 3^rd bedroom is off both the kitchen and entry hall, has an attached bath with stall shower, and could also be a perfect den or office! All three bedrooms feature wood laminate flooring and wood shutters!

This home also features an attached 2 car garage with new roll-up door and opener, updated copper plumbing, central refrigerated air conditioning and forced air heating, as well as a newer pool motor and re-built filter! Close to schools, parks (including Lake Balboa Park), restaurants, shopping, freeways, transportation, golf and more, this exceptional opportunity will not last long!
