Built in 1949 as part of the North Encino Homes development by architect Charles Du Bois, mostly known for his Palm Springs mid-century houses, this charming ranch bungalow is a true gem. As you enter the home, the spacious main living area seamlessly flows into a stunning den featuring slanted, exposed wood beam ceilings. Sliding doors lead to a large backyard, ideal for entertaining or enjoying a quiet afternoon under the shade of mature fruit trees. The expansive primary suite boasts a walk-in closet and an ensuite spa-like bathroom. A private deck off the primary is perfect for enjoying your morning coffee while reading the paper. This home also includes two comfy bedrooms, an additional full bathroom, and a spacious two-car garage with ample storage and parking. Lovingly maintained, with beautiful landscaping and important updates to major systems, including a new roof, this home offers modern comfort and classic charm. Nestled on a tree-lined street close to Encino and adjacent to Lake Balboa Park, this adorable retreat is a rare find in today's market.
