Experience the perfect blend of modern efficiency and timeless charm in this beautifully updated Lakewood home. With fully paid-off solar panels, dual-pane windows, and plantation shutters throughout, this home not only boasts an average energy bill of just $20 per month (est.) but also exudes a warmth and character that makes it truly special.
As you approach, you'll notice the impeccable curb appeal—the freshly laid sod, extended driveway, and the well-maintained exterior paint create a welcoming atmosphere. The front yard, with its Zen-like landscaping featuring a Japanese maple, and a stone walkway, sets the tone for the charm that continues inside.
Step through the door onto beautifully restored wood floors that flow through the living spaces. The living room, filled with natural light, opens through two sets of French doors to the enclosed patio. The galley kitchen, adjacent to the dining room, offers custom cabinetry with pullout features, higher-end appliances, and a tasteful glass tile backsplash, making it both functional and stylish.
Crown molding adds an elegant touch to every room, including the generously sized primary bedroom, providing a cozy yet refined space. The front bedroom, with its own bathroom, is versatile—ideal as a home office or a guest suite. The second bathroom, recently remodeled, is a luxurious retreat with Carrera marble flooring, a glass shower enclosure, and modern fixtures.
The backyard is a private oasis, complete with a covered gazebo-patio where you can unwind by the fire pit, enjoying peaceful evenings outdoors. A lush grassy area invites play, while the gated fruit tree section—home to mandarin orange, avocado, white nectarine, and lime trees—adds a touch of nature to this delightful space. With no homes directly behind, you’ll enjoy both privacy and tranquility.
This turnkey home is ready for its next owners to enjoy, offering the perfect mix of energy efficiency, modern updates, and undeniable charm. Priced to move quickly, it’s an opportunity you won’t want to miss in one of Lakewood’s most desirable neighborhoods.
