About this property
4 bed, 2 bath home on a corner lot in Lakewood, with 1,993 sq ft. (4th bedroom converted to 2nd dining room). Needs finishing touches, but very solid, a great upside opportunity! Original hardwood has been under carpet for decades, needs refinishing, but really nice original floors. New floors in baths and kitchen. Home needs interior paint (except in the huge family room, fresh paint there.) Living room has a HUGE picture window, gorgeous, and plenty of natural light. See pics of the living room. This is a really nice home that just needs a little love, and is priced accordingly. The addition is a sunken family room with a stone accent wall and sliding doors to the backyard. Real options to create an ADU, or a multi-generational setup, or use as-is. Addition has its own separate side entrance, and a nice-sized bedroom and bath on this side of the home (carpet is old, and needs to be replaced with buyers' choice - carpet or laminate would be great.). There’s a separate formal dining room, plus a galley kitchen with a gas range, glass-front cabinets and a sunny breakfast nook. Original hardwood floors run through the living room and bedrooms, and quality modern dual-pane windows are installed throughout most of the home. Out back is a flagstone patio, a mature avocado tree and a block-wall yard. Possible RV potential storage on the south side of the home, with some effort. The large 2-car garage has a workbench and built-in shelving and opens onto its own driveway from the side street. There’s also a large separate laundry/utility room. The home needs paint, flooring and some finish work, and it’s priced so the buyer can add their own finishing touches. Nearby are parks, well-regarded schools, the mall, shopping and dining, with quick access to the 91, 605, 405 and 710.
