Property Details

Description

Forget the cosmetic flip. This Lakewood cul-de-sac home was systematically upgraded, system by system, by a Construction Inspector who held his own property to the same standard he enforces every day on the job. The result is a fully modernized infrastructure package most buyers never think to ask about, until they're stuck paying for it later. Start below the surface: a full PEX re-pipe throughout, a comprehensive grounding upgrade, and a new 200-amp electrical panel relocated to the garage, all permitted. That 2019 panel upgrade also routed power and fiber-optic lines underground from the garage to the house, clearing every overhead wire from the backyard in the process. The sewer main was replaced with new ABS pipe and a new cleanout was added. An owned 5.04kW Enphase solar system (NEM 2.0, transfers to buyer) pairs with a 2019 high-efficiency Bryant HVAC system, newly engineered ductwork, and 14" of blown-in attic insulation, just serviced and certified via a 26-point tune-up. This isn't paint and staging. It's a top-to-bottom performance rebuild, permitted every step of the way. Then there's the permitted primary suite addition: a true retreat with a walk-in closet, dual-vanity bath, and private wine/coffee bar. The kitchen features solid quartz counters, tiled backsplash, an LG appliance suite, a pot filler, and an iSpring reverse osmosis filtration system, all set against beautifully refinished original hardwood floors. Outside, the fully finished detached garage is Title 24 insulated, climate-controlled with its own HVAC, wired with an EV charging station, and finished with an epoxy flake floor, a rare, forward-thinking feature today's buyers are actively searching for. The private corner lot is fully fenced with a courtyard setting, smart exterior lighting, and layout flexibility for a future ADU or JADU. The roof carries a 5-year certified warranty through 2031, and termite clearance is current. Every permit, warranty, and inspection report behind this work is on file and available for review, no surprises, just documented proof. This home has already answered the questions most buyers don't know to ask, a level of preparation that's genuinely rare to find in one property. Schedule your private showing today.

"My Mom passed away 1/31/21 needless to say it was a very difficult time for me. I needed help selling my mothers home. I reached out to Ever and he stepped up big! From the beginning he was a true professional great communication skills, great attitude, always made time for me and answered any questions I had. He showed compassion for my situation and went above and beyond to make things as easy as possible for me. Go with Ever you won’t regret it!"

"I worked with Ever through the process of an Estate Sale and sale of a condominium. Throughout the experience he and his team were extremely helpful. I had never been involved with an estate sale previously and was working with the additional factor of not being local. After an initial meeting I was able to deal with he and his team remotely which simplified the entire process and experience. Any questions or issues I had were very quickly addressed and resolved. My entire experience was very positive. Thank You!"

"Ever was simply excellent. He is thorough, approachable and very knowledgable of the house buying process. We appreciated his manner and help throughout our purchase process - he never made us feel pressured to select a house and helped us find a perfect match. He was especially helpful when we needed to juggle urgent travel during the Escrow process, helping us set up power of attorney. We would recommend Ever to any type of buyer and will certainly use him for any future real estate needs that we have."

"Ever has been my agent through two purchases and one sale. He has a keen sence of the market and knows how best to price and time sales and purchases. He makes sure to get the job done and places the most importance on making his satisfying his clients wishes to the best of his ability. He works well with escrow, property managers, and whomever he needs to speak with."

He was always available for consultation and never lost sight of the immediate issues nor the long term goals. Ever was an exemplary professional in every way and I would highly recommend him."

"Working with Ever was a great experience. Selling our Mom's house was emotionally difficult for us. Ever guided us thru the process and made it smooth and easy as possible for us. He responded to all of our questions with professionalism and knowledge. He kept us informed of every action during the sale. We trusted his advice and insights and he delivered on everything he said. The sale was quick and smooth and we couldn't be happier. We highly recommend Ever. He definitely knows his business."
