Two additional hallway closets provide even more storage space throughout the home. The bathroom has been tastefully refreshed with cosmetic updates while preserving the home’s classic character.

A charming brick pathway welcomes you home, bordered by mature Sage, Ceanothus, and other California native plants. The backyard is a gardener’s dream, featuring a mature lemon, a young avocado and oak tree, a Western Redbud, and a diverse collection of native plantings that provide beauty, seasonal color, and habitat for local wildlife. The detached two-car garage, situated at the end of the long driveway, provides endless flexibility as a garage, workshop, home gym, studio, or additional storage. Recent improvements include a new Bosch 3-ton heating and air conditioning system, added insulation throughout the home and attic, three-panel sliding glass door, refinished hardwood floors, a cosmetically updated bathroom, and fresh exterior paint. Combining original mid-century character, modern comfort, and incredible potential, this is a wonderful opportunity to make this classic Lakewood home your own.
