Experience resort-style living every day at 838 Balboa Lane. Located on the top floor of The Islands, one of Foster City's premier waterfront communities, this light-filled 2-bedroom, 2-bath retreat pairs serene lagoon views with updated modern design. The living area feels voluminous with 12-foot vaulted ceilings, skylights, and blond hardwood floors that create a bright, open atmosphere with space big enough for 2 seating areas. True indoor-outdoor living unfolds naturally across two private, sun-tracking balconies: catch the morning sunrise over calm waters from the east, then take in golden hour sunsets from the west with views of big open waters toward Metro. The renovated chef's kitchen boasts sleek custom cabinetry and generous storage, adjoining a dedicated laundry room with a utility sink. Down the hallway, illuminated by modern fixture and a skylight, the floor plan separates the second bedroom and guest bath from a spacious primary suite equipped with a large walk-in closet and home-office nook. Both bathrooms showcase clean, spa-inspired tile and hardware. At the ground level there's a two-car tandem garage, plus a short walk to community amenities including a swimming pool, spa, and clubhouse. Perfectly situated steps from waterfront trails and Leo Ryan Park, with easy commuter access to Highways 92 and 101.
