About This Home
As of May 2025Owned for generations by the Pope family, entrepreneurs and merchants at the Lakewood Amusement Park, this 1926 Craftsman is full of charm and historic details. Enjoy a timeless renovated kitchen and bathrooms, 10 ft ceilings, an exquisitely sealed crawl space, solar panels, an EV charger and more.
