Built in 2018 and completely move-in ready, this stunning 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom Eastside home boasts fresh interior paint and newly refinished wide-plank wood floors. Tucked away on a peaceful street, it offers a distinctively private feel with a privacy-fenced backyard, a wooded stretch behind, and open fields, woods, and a park directly across the street. The Lakewood community perfectly complements this tranquil lifestyle, offering beautiful landscaping, expansive greenspace, walking trails, and access to scenic Dekle Lake. Inside, the open-concept plan blends modern upgrades with timeless charm. Natural light highlights the 9+ foot ceilings, heavy crown molding, and striking coffered and vaulted ceilings. The spacious family room features a brick-surround gas fireplace and flows seamlessly into a true chef’s kitchen.
