Fabulous 4 bedroom, 2 bath +sunroom+garage home in the heart of Lakewood. This home is so charming!! You can't help but smile as you drive up and take in the meticulously maintained yard. As you enter the sunroom (great for an office) you will be pleasantly surprised as you peak around the corner and see the vaulted ceiling with exposed beams. The rooms are quite spacious. Gleaming original hardwood floors & LVP, custom tile accent on the fireplace. The kitchen is open to the dining room and features open shelving, butcher block counter, concrete sink, tile backsplash, new stainless appliances and so much more. This home has been beautifully updated and pride of ownership shows. Quiet private lot nestled in a Preserve setting between Earl Johnson Park, and the New Rose Creek watershed.
