Property is moderate renovation needed.
The property, built in 1965, is in well-maintained but dated condition. While it features updated wood-look laminate flooring in the living areas and bedrooms, the kitchen and bathrooms are significantly outdated with older tile countertops, painted cabinetry, and vintage fixtures. The presence of popcorn ceilings and the original mid-century rock fireplace further indicate that while the home is functional and 'livable as is,' it has not undergone a comprehensive renovation in over 20 years and requires cosmetic modernization.
The property is ideally situated in a quiet residential neighborhood adjacent to Balboa Park, offering excellent proximity to the 405 freeway, Costco, and diverse shopping and dining options.
With a recent $40,000 price reduction to under $800,000, this home represents an exceptional value for a 3-bedroom single-family residence in the Van Nuys market.
