This is a great opportunity to own a 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom home in the highly desirable Lakewood Park neighborhood, a true standout in a community where two-bedroom, two-bathroom homes can be hard to find. Very well-maintained and move-in ready, this home combines timeless charm with upgrades throughout. Inside, a thoughtfully upgraded kitchen impresses with quartz countertops, a timeless marble subway backsplash, stainless steel appliances, and under- and above-cabinet lighting, which are all designed for both function and style. A dedicated laundry area with a washer and dryer sits conveniently adjacent to the kitchen. Both bathrooms have been updated: one features a classic marble floor and crown molding. The spacious living and dining rooms flow together seamlessly, are freshly painted and trimmed with crown molding, and they open directly onto the showstopper of this home: a sprawling approx 1,000 square-foot two-level travertine deck complete with a gazebo and storage shed. There is a separate concrete pad accented by a slate and soapstone wall for your future BBQ, smoker, or spa. This outdoor sanctuary nearly doubles your activity space and is ideal for entertaining or peaceful personal time. Major systems have all been addressed: tankless water heater and NuvoH20 water softener (cartridge system), central HVAC, dual-pane windows with no-show integrated screens, updated shingle roof, full PEX re-pipe, remote-controlled garage door, and automatic sprinklers in the front yard. As the home is situated just blocks from restaurant row, the mall, movie theaters, amenities, city parks, and within the Long Beach Unified School District, this home truly has it all. This is Lakewood living at its finest. The Listing Agent is related to the Seller. Seller is a licensed real estate agent. A few photos include virtual staging to show potential use of space.
