3 bedrooms and a family room, a traditional single story plan on a cul-de-sac in Lake Balboa. With 2 full baths and a two car garage, this charming house has a classic front porch entry with subtly impressive curb appeal in a striking blue and white color scheme. The house was built new in 1983, with a modern spacious floor plan that has the ideal amount of openness – pitched ceilings in the combination living/dining ‘L’, a view all the way through to the big family room in back, but with a properly separated kitchen (who really wants to cook in the middle of their living room?) and the bedrooms on a private hallway. There are lots of closets and cabinets, inside side-by-side laundry (gas and 220 electric), central air, master with bath, inside access to the garage, breakfast nook, hard-wired ceiling fans, two skylights, convenient details possibly not present in the older smaller house expected in this price range.

The house has been thoroughly upgraded, in a warm traditional and elegant style not always seen today. Lots of wood, starting with real tongue-and-groove solid hardwood floors (Brazilian Walnut, one of the hardest woods available for flooring). The kitchen is magnificent, with classy Kraft Maid cabinets with solid raised panel doors, triple crown mouldings, granite counters, high-end Samsung range and dishwasher. Cabinets are carried through to the breakfast area. Of course, low-e heavy-frame double pane vinyl windows. Truly out of the ordinary!
