All is fair in love and war, and you will want to battle for this beauty because what's not to love? All the charm and character of a bygone era with the quality and ease of a renovation. On the main floor find a large, beautiful living room with a wood stove, high ceilings, and gorgeous wood floors. Original French doors open from the living room onto a lovely dining room. Don't miss the reading nook tucked under the stairs. The large galley kitchen has been renovated with high-end stainless appliances, loads of soft-close cabinetry. Two bedrooms on the main floor flank an updated bathroom. Upstairs find the primary retreat of your dreams. So much space. A bank of windows overlooking the private, fenced backyard. The bathroom, though, is the winner here--a soaking tub, a walk-in shower--all marble and luxury. Plenty of social spaces outside--a lovely front porch with the swing you didn't know you needed. Around back, a sweet little screened porch plus an ample patio and still! plenty of room for playing corn hole or bocce or, if you prefer, gardening in the already established raised beds. Roll/stroll to the Lakewood Y. You can practically smell the beans roasting just a few blocks away at Cocoa Cinnamon. Lakewood Shopping Center with great restaurants a quick and easy walk. Less than ten minute drive to downtown. Nasher Museum and Duke Gardens a quick walk or bike ride away. Get your battle gear ready. This one's worth fighting for!
