About this property
Welcome to 7244 Chicopee, where California cool meets design-forward living. Artfully reimagined and completely turn-key, this Lake Balboa stunner offers the perfect blend of mid-century ranch soul and clean, modern sophistication. Tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac, the home greets you with a striking custom horizontal slat gate that opens into your private, sun-drenched sanctuary. Step inside the 944-square-foot interior where wide-plank flooring and crisp recessed lighting ripple across a luminous, open-concept floor plan. Two expansive picture windows and a seamless glass door designed to transition effortlessly from an intimate, light-filled sanctuary to an inviting venue for hosting under the stars. The kitchen is a visual statement featuring gleaming quartz countertops, a striking slat-wall design accent, premium stainless steel appliances, a chef-smart-ready gas range, and a spacious breakfast bar. Whether you're pouring slow-morning coffee in absolute peace or hosting an intimate dinner party that spills out into the evening air, this kitchen is engineered for both functional workspace and refined entertaining. The redesigned bathroom doubles as a minimalist retreat, pairing a floating dark vanity and matte black hardware with a frameless glass walk-in shower and striking penny-tile flooring. Step outside onto the generous 5,977-square-foot lot and discover a true modernist compound designed for dual-mode California living. Framed by indigo block walls, vibrant bougainvillea, and drought tolerant plants, the private backyard is an entertainer's paradise that effortlessly balances serene solitude with dynamic hosting capability. Twin metal-roofed pergolas structure the outdoor zones: a shaded lounge beneath bistro lighting and anchored by a central fire table for quiet, starlit evenings, alongside an adjacent al fresco dining pavilion complete with a built-in grill station. Step-stone paths wind past a cowboy pool and native landscaping, creating a seamless, resort-style flow that transitions effortlessly from peaceful daytime repose to unforgettable intimate evening gatherings.
