Description
Probate sale with full authority and no court confirmation required. This single-story Lake Balboa home in Van Nuys for buyers ready to put in some TLC: 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and 1,251 sq ft on a flat 6,724 sq ft R1 lot, built in 1952. Hardwood floors run through most of the home. The living room, with its brick fireplace, extends back to a sliding glass door and covered patio. The dining area sits beside the original galley kitchen, with a double wall oven and gas cooktop, ready to be reimagined. The primary bedroom has access to the backyard and an en suite bath with a tiled walk-in shower. The block-walled backyard offers open space, established fruit trees, a detached screened patio enclosure, a storage shed, and room to expand or add an ADU (buyer to verify). A wide driveway leads to the attached two-car garage with direct access and washer and dryer hookups. Shopping and dining along Sherman Way and Balboa Blvd are about a quarter mile away. Lake Balboa Park, with its 27-acre lake and bike path, and the Sepulveda Basin Recreation Area are under two miles from the house, and the 405 and 101 freeways are each within about two and a half miles. Gault Street Elementary, Mulholland Middle and Birmingham Community Charter High are close by. Sold as-is. A fixer suited to a renovate and resell or a long-term hold in the San Fernando Valley of Los Angeles.
