Property Description

Located in the highly desirable Encino Village neighborhood and within the award-winning Encino Charter Elementary School district, this property is being offered for the first time in 52 years. Encino Village homes were originally designed by noted architect Martin J. Stern Jr., adding to the area’s architectural significance and charm. Ideally situated near the Balboa Park recreation area—featuring tennis courts, golf, bike paths, and scenic Lake Balboa—as well as the shops and restaurants along Ventura Boulevard, and with convenient access to the 101 and 405 freeways, the location is truly exceptional. This diamond in the rough presents a rare opportunity for buyers seeking a fixer with tremendous potential and a highly functional layout. The home features a charming brick veneer façade and offers 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, along with a living room and dining area highlighted by a fireplace and vaulted beamed ceilings. The kitchen includes an eating area, while the spacious paneled family room also boasts vaulted beamed ceilings, creating an inviting gathering space. Sliding glass doors topped with clerestory windows open to the yard, which features artificial turf in both the front and back, a patio with a trellised cover, and two built-in benches—perfect for outdoor enjoyment. Additional features include a separate laundry room and a two-car garage.
