Van Nuys Home For Sale

Modern Outback Ranch in the heart of Lake Balboa. A thoughtful, comprehensive renovation that starts with smart functionality and layers on warmth, character, and design. This three-bedroom home includes a bonus media space and two full baths, anchored by expansive open living areas with high ceilings, smooth-coat walls, gallery-style recessed lighting, and French doors that open to the deck and backyard. Natural light pours in, creating an effortless indoor/outdoor flow that defines Southern California living. The entertainer's kitchen is a standout, featuring a large storage-rich island, a 36" industrial gas range with statement hood, custom pale oak cabinetry, open shelving, and beautiful rustic tile that brings texture and depth. The primary retreat impresses in both scale and comfort, with vaulted beamed ceilings, fireplace, and a spa-like en suite bath offering a dual vanity and oversized walk-in shower. The suite also opens directly to the rear entertaining areas, creating a rare wraparound flow for the neighborhood and price point. The converted garage (not included in the square footage) provides flexible additional living space ideal for a home office, media room, or creative studio. Outback-inspired landscape completes the experience, blending drought-tolerant Australian natives, olive trees, and a clean modern look. A grassy yard area offers space for play and pets. Lake Balboa's growing popularity comes as no surprise, with its generous lot sizes, quiet streets, proximity to major parks and recreation, and easy access to the Westside making it a neighborhood well-positioned for both lifestyle and long-term growth.
