What happens when a fully renovated home meets a glorious backyard and a walkable Lakewood location? Some call it magic. I call it where do I sign? Cute as a button from the curb, this home has even more to show off inside. A cozy front entry opens to a sunny sitting room, and the easy flow carries you into a beautifully renovated kitchen with butcher block counters, an eat-in peninsula, thoughtful storage, and a walk-in pantry. The kitchen opens to a spacious dining and family room, where a wall of new Andersen windows frames the leafy view. Fair warning: you may forget what you came into the room for. And then there's the backyard. The screened porch leads to a yard so expansive it could pass for your own private park. A custom covered deck and a second, uncovered deck give you plenty of options for morning coffee, dinner with friends, or simply sitting among the mature trees and doing absolutely nothing. Highly recommended. Upstairs, the primary wing brings more new Andersen windows, a fully renovated bathroom, and a custom closet worthy of a Selling Sunset cameo. Two additional bedrooms share another beautifully renovated bath. With newly refinished hardwood floors, fresh paint inside and out, and natural light at every turn, this move-in-ready Lakewood charmer gives you room to breathe—just a stroll from the places you love.
