Agent Description

Turn back the clock and experience a home that brings the soul of the 1970s to life with the comfort and updates of today. This property is part of the Lakewood Village Association, which offers access to the 170-acre Lake Colchester, a swimming beach, boating, neighborhood parks and a variety of amenities that make the area so appealing.

Inside, the main level features an open living, kitchen, and dining layout that fits the home's retro character. The kitchen showcases avocado green countertops paired with warm wood tones that highlight the home's genuine 70s personality. Three bedrooms are arranged on the main level, and the fourth bedroom downstairs provides a separate space with added flexibility.

The lower level delivers a full retro revival with newer shag carpet and the iconic 1972 orange wood burning fireplace that instantly becomes the centerpiece of the room. The atmosphere is warm, bold, and unforgettable. Modern updates blend seamlessly with the home's vintage charm: roof (2022), windows (2023), electrical panel, garage door, and stainless-steel appliances.

Outside, you'll find a privacy fence along most of the backyard and a great 2 car detached garage. If you are ready for a home with personality and the lifestyle that comes with Lakewood amenities, this is the one to check out.
