Beautiful and bright, this 1959 pool home sits on a third of an acre and includes substantial upgrades, both in aesthetics/design and the larger systems. With its wide-open layout and long, low-pitch roofline and profile, this 7-bedroom home in Lake Balboa is the classic California Ranch home of your dreams! Like many "rambler" homes (as "ranch" are also referred), the bedrooms are thoughtfully separate from the common living areas -- except for the ensuite guest bedroom, which is nicely set apart from the other six. The "great-room" boasts exposed beams, an open kitchen, and a stunning stone fireplace, and you'll love the option of the formal dining room or the sunny breakfast area. The generously sized and private frontage of the home includes parking for a large number of guests or a plentiful play area, and the back includes an abundance of room for entertaining and/or solitude aside from the gorgeous and gated pool area. And Attention Urban Farmers: Filled with a variety of plants, trees, and produce -- including Meyer lemon, orange, apricot, nectarine, strawberry, kale, beets, herbs, etc. – this property is known locally as Harlan’s Farm. Homes this special do not come along every day.
