Property Description
Opportunity is knocking—and it’s loud on Lakewood’s coveted west side. Situated just moments from Hayes Elementary School, this classic 3-bedroom home at 2212 Olive Ave delivers the kind of upside investors chase and homeowners dream about. Packed with original character, you’ll find hardwood floors throughout, timeless built-ins in both the living and dining rooms, and a layout that simply works—including the added convenience of a main-level bedroom and full bath, ideal for flexible living. The second floor offers strong potential to create an additional full bath—instantly boosting value. Natural light pours into the generously sized eat-in kitchen, ready to be transformed into a showpiece. Start your mornings on the inviting front porch and unwind in the evening on the rear patio, overlooking a private, fenced-in yard. A clean basement adds functional space and flexibility. Key updates are already in place: roof (2023), garage roof (2025), hot water tank (2023), and furnace (2014)—allowing you to focus on design and equity, not major mechanicals. Beyond the home itself, this location captures everything that makes Lakewood so desirable. Enjoy a vibrant, walkable lifestyle surrounded by local shopping, popular eateries, everyday conveniences, grocery options, parks, and entertainment. It’s the kind of neighborhood where front porches are used, sidewalks stay busy, and growing households are putting down roots for the lifestyle as much as the homes. This is the footprint buyers are looking for in a neighborhood that consistently delivers strong demand. Whether you’re renovating for resale or creating a standout personal residence, the potential here is undeniable. Unlock the value. Opportunities like this in Lakewood don’t last.
