6506 McLennan Ave

Welcome to a one-of-a-kind glow-up in Lake Balboa, just around the corner from the neighborhood’s beloved outdoor retreat. Nestled among many original single-level homes, 6506 McLennan Ave stands out with its expanded layout, thoughtful upgrades, and flexible living potential—including space ideal for a future ADU (buyer to verify). From the moment you arrive, the home invites you in with a rich green lawn, blooming front rose garden, charming shutters, a window box, and modern lighting—all framed beneath a 2025 permitted new roof and freshly painted exterior. Step through the foyer into a spacious open-concept living and dining area, perfect for hosting the holidays or simply enjoying a quiet life. New light-toned LVP flooring, recessed lighting, crown moulding, and fresh interior paint provide a modern canvas to create your own home-life. The updated kitchen shines with new quartz countertops, painted cabinetry, white subway backsplash, a customized hood, fireclay sink, and gold-toned faucet. Morning light streams into the kitchen's casual dining space, where a new chandelier adds elegance, and beyond the kitchen bar seating are the dining room adjacent sliding doors connecting you to the shaded backyard—perfect for sipping coffee under the trees. Guests can enjoy a foyer adjacent updated half bathroom, or use its ensuite access to the front bedroom as a mini suite for extended family visits. Two additional first floor carpeted and updated bedrooms share a beautifully remodeled bathroom with new cabinetry, rebuilt and tiled shower, modern fixtures, and lighting. At the rear, a rare two-story addition—built in 1980 by the original owner—adds serious versatility. With its own private back-yard entrance, water heater, and spacious foyer with storage, it’s ideal for extended family, a creative workspace, or a potential ADU (buyer to verify). On the first floor, a massive elegant suite features new carpet, crown moulding, a private patio, large walk-in closet, and full bath. Upstairs, another oversized suite offers abundant natural light and a huge walk-in closet with enough space to potentially add a kitchenette. Additional highlights include solar, newer HVAC, updated electrical panel and plumbing, new French-drain on side, and freshly updated and trimmed landscaping. Whether you're looking to spread out, host comfortably, or explore the possibilities of flexible living, this Lake Balboa glow-up is a life-style opportunity ready to welcome you.
