About this property
WOW First time on the market in over 40 years! Situated on a corner lot along a quiet, tree-lined street in Lakewood’s established Lakewood Park neighborhood, 5439 Hersholt Avenue offers classic charm, a private swimming pool and exciting possibilities. Original hardwood floors bring warmth and character, while upgraded dual-pane windows and fully paid-off solar panels add modern appeal. The primary bedroom features its own private bathroom. A spacious family room between the house and garage provides flexible space for entertaining, relaxing or potential rental income. With its own separate entrance and parking access, this space presents an opportunity to explore conversion into an ADU. The corner lot offers convenient access and parking flexibility, further enhancing the property’s potential. Buyers can also explore the feasibility of adding multiple units to the lot like many neighbors have done - subject to city approval, zoning and applicable requirements. Enjoy poolside gatherings, mature trees and an established neighborhood setting with convenient access to Mayfair Park, Lakewood Center, shopping and dining. Whether you envision restoring its classic appeal, updating it to your taste or exploring its expansion possibilities, this longtime home is ready for its next chapter. Buyer to verify all development and conversion possibilities with the City of Lakewood, some neighbors have added up to 5 units with a similar sized lot and location.
