About this single-family home
Your summer dreams just came true! Stepping into this gorgeous home, you immediately see the beautiful wood french doors leading to the expansive lush backyard with patio, luxurious soaking pool (filtered!) and detached studio (office, yoga, art studio?), complete with delicious mature orange tree. Get ready to be the most popular friend in your circle, and you certainly have the space to host them all on this 6,000 sq ft lot! Described in the original 1950s advertisement as "truly Californian, "the much touted extra wide lot and the "wall of glass" to the lush private garden are as popular today as they were then. This collection of homes in the Sherman Park development was designed and built by Architect Edward Fickett, FAIA, and builder Ray Hommes between 1949 and 1952, with this home sitting in the very first built pocket - just a couple blocks over from where the model homes welcomed new buyers. Located in hot Lake Balboa, this is a darling tree-lined midcentury neighborhood where friendly neighbors take post-work strolls amid the greenery. The charming features of this home remain, updated with period-inspired materials. The main suite bathroom features beautiful new terrazzo flooring, a current nod to the original era of this home. New skylights bathe the gorgeous remodeled kitchen and bathrooms in natural light. Gleaming new oak hardwood floors throughout warm the space. The garage space just off the kitchen is bright and clean, possibly for that work from home space? With plenty of parking outside, use this space to its full potential! This house is ready to enjoy, with upgrades like Central HVAC with Nest thermostat, Simplisafe alarm, new hot water heater, included washer/dryer and more. Lake Balboa is known for its verdant green 80 acre park with sparkling 26 acre lake. Walk the path around the lake, rent swan paddle boats, picnic on the meadows or go fishing! Enjoy the fun playground, wide open meadows of lush grass, golf courses, the Sepulveda Basin Wildlife Reserve, a Japanese garden, velodrome, and a sports complex. You can also take your pooch to the Sepulveda Dam off-leash dog park. Or ride a short distance to the 18 mile Orange Line Bike Path. Closer to home, Louise Park features barbecue pits, a lighted baseball diamond, outdoor basketball courts, a children's play area, and picnic tables. Enjoy the local businesses - grab a latte at Black Heart Coffee, breakfast at Humble Bee, date night at Salsa & Beer or Bar Uerukamu for sushi, or shop at the Sunday Encino farmers market on Victory. Trader Joe's is a 10-minute drive, and only 15 minutes gets you to Ventura Boulevard, where you can find all your favorite cafes, restaurants, and shops. Welcome to lakebalboamidcentury.com.
