Charming Lakewood Bungalow with Timeless Character
Nestled on a quiet, tree-lined street in the heart of Lakewood, this 3-bedroom, 1-bath bungalow offers classic charm, solid craftsmanship, and an outstanding opportunity to make it your own. Beautiful hardwood flooring extends throughout much of the living, dining, and bedroom spaces, creating warmth and character throughout the home.
The inviting living room features a painted brick wood-burning fireplace that serves as a cozy focal point, while the formal dining area provides an ideal setting for everyday living and entertaining. The functional galley kitchen offers efficient workspace and awaits your personal touches.
Outside, enjoy a fully fenced backyard with plenty of room for pets, gardening, or outdoor gatherings. A detached one-car garage provides additional storage and convenience.
Major improvements completed over the years include brand-new central air conditioning, replacement windows (2011-2014), rebuilt front porch (1999), vinyl siding on both the house and garage (1990), chain-link fencing addition (1996), and gutter guards (2015). With strong fundamentals and only minor cosmetic updates and repairs needed, this home presents an excellent opportunity to build equity while preserving its original character.
Ideally located near Interstate 90 for easy commuting and just minutes from Lakewood's popular restaurants, shopping, parks, and community amenities, this home combines convenience, character, and value in one of Northeast Ohio's most sought-after communities.
Don't miss your chance to own a classic Lakewood bungalow and make it uniquely yours.
