Upon entering this Westgate home on a quiet Lakewood street, you're greeted by vaulted ceilings, a wood-burning moss rock fireplace with an arched firebox, and stairs leading to every level of a home its owners have meticulously cared for since 1972. The front bay window fills the living and dining rooms with light, and there's room to gather by the fire or host a long dinner. The renovated kitchen has granite counters, beautiful wood cabinetry, stainless appliances, and a built-in wine rack. The window over the sink looks out on the serene backyard, and that view is the heart of this home. Facing east, the backyard catches the morning sun and stays cool through the afternoon under huge mature shade trees. A spacious deck is built around one of them, and stone walls and flagstone steps wind up through professionally landscaped gardens to a private, fully fenced yard. Landscape lighting glows along the paths in the evening, and sprinklers and drip irrigation do the watering for you. Upstairs, three bedrooms include a primary with its own bath, along with a full hall bath and hardwood floors lurking beneath the carpet. Just three steps down from the main level, a cozy den sits beside a renovated powder room and laundry, with direct access to the two-car garage. The finished basement offers a large recreation room, a storage area, and a non-conforming fourth bedroom, ready for your personal touch. A stone-coated steel roof, double-pane windows, and added attic insulation keep the home comfortable and quiet. No HOA. Just 0.3 miles away, the Bear Creek Greenbelt offers miles of paths along the creek and ponds for walking, biking, and fishing, with shopping, restaurants, and several golf courses minutes from home.
