This suburban eco-friendly micro farm with amenities is truly a one-of-a-kind property. Located in Lake Balboa on almost a 10k lot, this 2,526 Sf gated home is situated behind a custom -designed stucco wall covered with vibrant bougainvillea. When entering, you transition from hectic city to the private outdoor sanctuary with meandering walkways and lush drought-resistant landscape.
The home features a warm and colorful living room with hardwood floors, wood-burning fireplace with hand-built hearth. A light-filled open dining and family room with soaring beamed ceiling and floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the spacious backyard. The family room is currently used as a deluxe home-recording studio but can easily be converted back to its original use. The adjacent office to the family room could be used as a 4th bedroom. The recently renovated kitchen has marble countertops, Viking range, cast-iron triple sink and Miele dishwasher.
The primary suite has a stylish walk-in closet, remodeled bathroom with steam shower, sunken MCM-vintage tub, double sinks, & quartz countertops with access to the patio. The two additional bedrooms boast architectural/ triple casement windows and share the remodeled hall bathroom with marble subway tile and RH light fixtures
This home provides urban-farm-like amenities including large raised garden beds, trellises, a generous grapevine arbor that creates another private retreat at the lot’s rear with a heated pool, spa, and fruit trees. There is an ADU-worthy two-car garage with direct-alley access, as well as an additional detached studio with large skylights that currently functions as storage space, but would serve even better as an art studio or yoga/meditation space. There is a charming chicken coop (currently with five egg-laying Polish hens that can stay or go) with a long fenced-in space that could also work as a dog run. The backyard also has two large covered patios, ample uncovered patio areas, and multiple garden fountains throughout. Other features and upgrades include: new quadruple mini-splits heating/cooling systems, new attic insulation & whole-house fan, copper plumbing, new main sewer line, updated 200-amp electrical panel, and roof was replaced about 4 years ago. Solar panels and two 10-Kilowatt back-up batteries to provide an off-grid system that stores enough energy to power practically the entire house.
Sustainability, and style—you can have it all!
