About This Home
As of April 2023This rare cottage in central Lakewood embraces serene living in a private and natural setting. Tucked on a very large lot, you won't want to leave the expansive, front screened porch. Sliding glass doors from the kitchen open to a large, tiered back deck for entertaining and grilling. Meandering paths throughout are lined with perennials which add year round delight and afford quiet seating areas of repose in a truly magical garden. Two large sheds for storage and ample parking.
