Property Description
What happens when you put a fully renovated home, a breathtaking yard, and a walkable Lakewood location together? Some call it magic. I call it where do I sign? This charm-filled home is cute as a button, with curb appeal out front and a whole lot of wow out back. Step through the cozy front entry into a light-filled sitting room, then follow the easy flow through into an open-concept kitchen with an eat-in peninsula, top-notch butcherblock counters, and throughtful storage, including a walk-in pantry, throughout. A spacious open dining and family room flows seamlessly from the kitchen. This spectacular space is graced by a wall of new Andersen windows, bringing the beauty of mature foliage right into your living room and drawing your eye straight to the leafy sanctuary beyond. And what a beyond it is. The custom created and newly redone screened porch leads down to a backyard so expansive it could pass for your own private park. There's a custom covered deck and an uncovered deck below, giving you plenty of places to take your coffee, linger with friends, and enjoy the mature trees and foliage. There is an additional 400 sf on this lower level, perfect for a workshop or just all your extra toys. Upstairs, the primary wing has more new Andersen windows, a fully renovated bathroom, and a custom closet worthy of a Selling Sunset cameo. Two additional bedrooms share a beautifully redone bathroom. Add newly refinished hardwood floors, fresh paint inside and out, and all that glorious natural light, and you have a move-in-ready home with room to breathe—right near the heart of it all.
