A new investment opportunity has come to market in Lake Balboa. Located at 6555 De Celis Place, this 3-bedroom, 1-bath single-family home offers approximately 1,124 square feet of living space on a 6,000-square-foot lot.

The home features original wood flooring (currently under carpet), a front-facing living room, dining area, and three bedrooms with original wood-framed windows.

The property does require significant updates and is best suited for buyers seeking a project with long-term upside. With its location in Lake Balboa and proximity to West Valley amenities, this is a compelling option for investors or buyers looking to customize a property.
