Forget the cosmetic flip. Tucked at the end of a quiet Lakewood cul-de-sac, this home pairs timeless character with thoughtfully modernized major systems. Owned by a professional construction inspector who held his own property to the same standards he applies on the job, the home has been upgraded with a full PEX re-pipe, a new 200-amp electrical panel with comprehensive grounding improvements, replacement of the under-house 3-inch sewer line with ABS and a new cleanout, and a 2019 high-efficiency Bryant HVAC system with newly engineered ductwork. An owned 5.04kW Enphase solar system operating under NEM 2.0 and 14 inches of blown-in attic insulation add to its efficiency and comfort. Inside, original hardwood floors flow through a bright, open living and dining area. The kitchen features solid quartz counters, an LG appliance suite, a pot filler, and an iSpring reverse osmosis filtration system. The permitted approximately 500-square-foot primary suite addition, completed in 2020, offers a walk-in closet, private wine and coffee bar, dual-vanity bath, and private water closet. Outside, the private corner lot is framed by high fencing and a smart-lit courtyard. The detached garage is fully permitted, Title 24 insulated, climate-controlled, wired for EV charging, and finished with an epoxy flake floor, creating an exceptional workspace or hobby area. The lot may also offer potential for a future ADU or JADU; buyers should verify feasibility with the appropriate authorities. With a roof warranty through 2031, current termite clearance, and an extensive open-book disclosure package containing available permits, warranties, and inspection reports, buyers can review the work behind the home with confidence. Conveniently located near major freeways, Lakewood Center, and the West San Gabriel River Parkway, this home brings together suburban privacy, modern efficiency, and documented improvements.
