Inside, the home offers three bedrooms, including an en-suite, and two bathrooms. The living, family, and dining areas feel open and connected while still offering distinct spaces for entertaining, sharing a meal, or simply relaxing at home.

All of this is just moments from the natural beauty of Lake Balboa Park, multiple golf courses, the Japanese Garden, Sepulveda Basin Off-Leash Dog Park, and the Encino Farmers Market, with convenient access to the 101 and 405 freewaysmaking this a truly special place to call home.
