The story
Charming Lakewood cottage, lovingly maintained and thoughtfully updated, set on an unusually generous 5,786 sf lot. This sweet 1-bedroom, 1-bath home offers the perfect blend of move-in-ready ease and future possibility. Improvements include a new roof, updated electrical panel, new deck and double-pane windows. The private backyard is the real star: wonderfully expansive with a large deck ready for long dinners, morning coffee and summer lounging. A true gardener’s paradise, with plenty of room to cultivate, play or simply enjoy the quiet. Gated off-street parking, alley access and a detached one-car garage add flexibility; use the garage for a car, studio, workshop or creative space. Set on a peaceful street in the heart of Lakewood, with an enviable location just moments from Chuck’s Hop Shop, Cafe Vida, Seward Park and the Columbia City commercial district. Whether you’re looking for a charming retreat, envisioning an expansion, or considering a larger reimagining of the property, this is a special opportunity on a fantastic lot. Love it just as it is—or imagine what could be.
