Spacious Multi-Unit Home in the Heart of Lakewood. A Truly Unique Opportunity.Don't miss this rare investment in a beautiful Lakewood neighborhood! Over 3,400 square feet of finished space spread across three levels, this one-of-a-kind Lakewood property offers more room and versatility than your typical duplex. Both the first and second floors each provide roughly 1,400 square feet of living space, well above average for the area.The third floor adds an additional 750 square feet of livable space, making this a great fit for multi-generational living, house-hacking, or creative rental income. Each of the three levels has its own kitchen, full bathroom, and private entry options, offering privacy and independence whether you're living in one unit and renting the other, or leasing out the entire home. The roof was replaced in 2019, and a new water heater was added in 2023. There's plenty of off-street parking, a detached two-car garage, and a fully fenced backyard that's ideal for outdoor gatherings or quiet evenings. A shared basement adds even more function, with two sets of washers and dryers, plus secure, lockable storage areas. Each unit brings its own style: The top floor is freshly updated with new flooring (2024), modern lighting, stainless steel appliances, and a clean, contemporary feel.The middle level features an updated kitchen, hardwood floors, fireplace, balcony seating, stainless appliances, ceiling fans, and a bonus room perfect for a home office or walk-in closet. The main level offers the same generous layout with charming original details, a fireplace, a bay window, spacious front porch access, and solid rental potential. Tucked away on a quiet street but still close to both Lakewood and Rocky River amenities, this property delivers the best of both space and location. Whether you're looking to live in part of the home while earning rental income, or you're an investor searching for a solid long-term asset, this property offers strong potential.
