Property is moderate renovation needed.
While the home is exceptionally well-maintained and move-in ready, the kitchen and bathrooms reflect a renovation style (tile countertops, terracotta flooring, and white cabinetry) likely performed 20-25 years ago. The 1941 structure retains dated elements like wood-paneled walls and older bathroom tile configurations that, while functional, require modernization to meet current market standards for 'Good' or 'Excellent' ratings.
Situated in Burbank's highly coveted Rancho District, the property benefits from a unique community atmosphere, tree-lined streets, and consistently high market demand.
The garage conversion into a sound studio provides exceptional flexibility for a home office, creative retreat, or a potential future ADU conversion to increase property value.
The backyard features a sparkling pool and surrounding patio, offering a rare and desirable private retreat ideal for the Southern California lifestyle and entertaining.
Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 3, other record bedroom count = 2.
