17630 Kittridge Street is nestled within one of Lake Balboa's most sought-after pockets and has been lovingly maintained and thoughtfully updated by the same family for generations. From the moment you arrive, the home's exceptional curb appeal shines through with its manicured lawn, mature landscaping, and beautifully sculpted hedges. Inside, a formal entry welcomes you into a spacious floor plan designed for both comfortable living and entertaining. The expansive dining room flows seamlessly into the inviting living room, highlighted by a stunning fireplace and French doors leading to the backyard. The open-concept kitchen features a generous peninsula with breakfast bar seating, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and an adjacent laundry room with pantry storage. All three bedrooms are generously sized, while both bathrooms have been tastefully remodeled with timeless finishes and classic design choices.

Decorative plum and fig trees, mature blooms, and a tucked-away nook with a raised garden bed create a peaceful retreat with charm at every turn. The extended two-car garage includes a separate workshop area, providing excellent flexibility for hobbies, storage, or creative space. There is a gated driveway, and a newer roof and HVAC system- both completed within the last four years.
