Welcome to 1528 Lauderdale, a beautiful Lakewood brick home built in 1911 and made for everyday living. It has everything Lakewood homeowners love about a traditional Lakewood house, with original character, a classic Lakewood layout, and a location close to everything. The first floor flows easily from the living room, with its original fireplace mantel, through beautiful wood archways into the next room, so it’s open enough for gatherings while each space still has its own purpose. As you’ll see in the photos, the current owners use the room off the living room, with its built-ins and window seat, as a playroom, but it would make an equally beautiful formal dining room, home office, or den. The updated kitchen with granite countertops gives you plenty of prep space for everyday cooking and entertaining. Original hardwood floors run throughout and hold up beautifully to daily life. Upstairs, 3 bedrooms and a full bath keep sleeping space together on one level, and the primary bedroom has a bay window and a large walk-in closet with built-in organizers. The finished third-floor loft adds a 4th bedroom, guest space, or private work-from-home retreat away from the main living areas. The basement gives you laundry, plenty of storage, and a bathroom ready to be finished, and the brand-new furnace and central air mean no big mechanical projects on day one. Outside, a private driveway, not shared like so many in Lakewood, leads to the detached 2-car garage, and the deck overlooks a private, fully fenced backyard ready for grilling and outdoor time. Close to all of the famous Lakewood parks, shops, restaurants, and an easy commute to downtown Cleveland.
