Property Description
1553 Rockway Avenue is a special three-bedroom, two full-bath colonial situated in a perfect location in Western Lakewood: a quiet, friendly street that's just a short stroll to the dining and night-life on Detroit and the shops on Madison. Living on Rockway will prove why Lakewood was ranked the most walkable city in the state of Ohio! Year-over-year this house has received upgrades to make it the ultimate Lakewood abode: old world charm with a modern and functional feel. In 2009/2010, old, rotted wooden windows were replaced with easy-to-clean vinyl windows. In 2011 the entire exterior was excavated and waterproofed, making water in the basement during heavy rains or melting snow a distant memory. The newer garage was built in 2015 and was designed specifically to match the main home. Following the garage came a kitchen upgrade in 2016, and the installation of Nature Stone flooring in the basement shortly thereafter. Engineered hardwood floors (which were just refurbished prior to this listing) were then installed throughout the first and second floors. Projects continued over the next several years and included a new driveway, a new front door, a vinyl privacy fence, a new back patio, and a complete overhaul of the 300sf+ third floor (including a Mitsubishi mini-split for both heating and cooling). A big undertaking was the rebuild of the front and back porches with maintenance-free Azek decking, now both yours to enjoy this summer! The whole house has been cleaned and much of it repainted and restored for its next owner, including bathroom refreshes that include new LVP flooring, new toilets, and a refinished tub upstairs. Get the keys to this great house and enjoy it as-is or add your own touches to take it to the next level! Book a showing today!
