Showcasing charming vintage character and a long list of smart upgrades, this well-maintained 1,264-square-foot home offers easy living both inside and out. The spacious layout includes a main floor and a basement, and you’ll find 3 bedrooms and 1 bath alongside cheerful, sunlit living spaces ready to be transformed with your unique style. A large yard is also brimming with possibility and poised for summertime bliss! Located at 15205 Grant Ave SW Lakewood, WA 98498 and merely minutes to JBLM, American Lake, eateries, commuting options and so much more, this move-in ready Lakewood home is listed for $345,000. 

Lovingly cared for over the years, this Lakewood residence features several upgrades that ensure it’s ready to take on the future. A new roof was installed in 2020, new wall-to-wall carpet was added in 2018, and in 2013 a new gas furnace and electric hot water tank were added, plus new laminate flooring was installed in the dining room and kitchen. (Original hardwood floors can be found under the carpet and laminate in case you decide to change things up down the road!) 

When you pull in the driveway, this home’s sweet curb appeal greets you, and if you feel inspired to do so you can spend the summer adding your own personal touches into the mix. Paint the exterior with a new color, plant your favorite flowers in the landscaped garden beds by the front door, or add in your own landscaping designs into the mix—the sky’s the limit! 

The same is true of this home’s interior—just in through the front door, welcoming living spaces are simply perfect as is, or you can have fun re-envisioning each space. In the living room, huge picture windows let natural light cascade in. The layout flows into the sunny dining area, an inviting space where built-in open shelving adds instant character. Show off decor and special keepsakes here for an effortless way to make the space your own! 

In the kitchen, a well-designed layout ensures that everything you need is within reach. Cute cabinets have a couple of open-shelving nooks worked into the design, and the tile backsplash is just the cherry on top! From the kitchen you have access into the backyard, making it easy to enjoy al fresco dining or grill up dinner. 

The main floor also includes 2 spacious bedrooms, and in the basement you’ll find another large bedroom. The basement provides some built-in storage and flex space as well, and you can access the attached 1-car garage from here. The garage includes a recently installed French drain, and incredible versatility awaits here! Of course, you can park your car here to keep it out of the weather, or you could build a workbench, set up a fitness center, and more. 

Beautifully manicured privacy shrubs and a pristine lawn await in the tranquil backyard, and this idyllic space offers a quiet, serene atmosphere to retreat to whenever you need to rejuvenate. This park-like space is stunning as is, but it also has space to cultivate if you choose. Build a patio or a deck, set up a play toy, build raised garden beds… the opportunity is here when inspiration strikes!
