About This Home
Solid ranch home on a corner lot with a rare 3 car garage setup (1 car attached + oversized 2 car detached) with plenty of space for additional parking. The lot offers room to expand, garden, or tailor the outdoor space to fit your needs. Inside, the layout is simple and functional with two bedrooms, a full bath, and a separate office space. The kitchen is a true galley layout with access to the garage, laundry, and office on one end, and the dining room on the other. The living room connects with the dining room and features a gas fireplace. A second gas fireplace is found in the ready to finish basement with plumbing in place, giving you a clear path to add square footage and increase value over time. While the interior could use cosmetic updating, it’s priced accordingly, creating a strong opportunity for a homeowner or investor to build equity through improvements. The home is located in a desirable North Lakewood neighborhood with quick access to Wadsworth Blvd., 6th Avenue, and I-70, and is just minutes from Morse Park, grocery stores, restaurants, and shopping.
