Charming Single-Story Burbank Home on a 6,750 SF Lot
Warm, well-proportioned and thoughtfully arranged, 228 N Beachwood Drive is a single-story Burbank residence that balances classic 1940s character with practical modern updates. Set on a meaningful 6,750 square foot lot, the home provides a private front yard, an expansive backyard and a covered patio that extends the living area outdoors — rare advantages in central Burbank.
Step through the formal entry into a spacious living room anchored by a cozy fireplace and generous wall space for seating and media. The formal dining room sits adjacent to the living area and connects to a kitchen with a dedicated breakfast/dining nook — an efficient layout that supports both everyday life and entertaining. Three well-proportioned bedrooms share a full bathroom; thoughtful updates such as new windows and central heating and air enhance comfort and energy performance.
The back yard is the standout feature: wide, planted borders and room for a vegetable garden, play area, or a future expansion. A covered patio creates an immediate outdoor living room for alfresco meals or evening gatherings. The property description notes a detached two-car garage, offering valuable storage and parking and presenting a potential opportunity for conversion to a permitted ADU (subject to City of Burbank rules).
This home is ideal for buyers who want a move-in-capable single-story residence with substantial lot upside near Magnolia Park and downtown Burbank. With classic lines, sensible updates and room to grow, 228 N Beachwood Drive offers immediate comfort and the flexibility to add long-term value.
