1531 Winchester Avenue

Wow — “move-in ready” doesn’t even begin to cover it. This beautifully maintained 3-bedroom Lakewood colonial blends timeless character with major updates throughout, offering a truly turnkey experience for its next owner. Step inside to gleaming hardwood floors that flow from the living room into the dining room, highlighted by pristine built-in cabinets and original woodwork. Custom French doors (installed 2017) lead to a stone patio overlooking a fully fenced, beautifully landscaped backyard complete with a decorative pond — a peaceful retreat perfect for relaxing or entertaining. The kitchen was updated in 2018, including appliances purchased the same year, and the bathroom features a modern walk-in shower (2018). Mechanical updates include a new furnace (2018), new hot water tank (2019), and most double-hung windows replaced in 2019. The covered front porch received a new roof in 2021, and the home’s distinctive slate roof adds to its classic Lakewood charm. Upstairs, you’ll find deep bedroom closets — a rare bonus in Lakewood — plus an additional shower in the spacious, unfinished basement. With its blend of character, updates, outdoor space, and unbeatable location near restaurants, shops, parks, and highway access, this is an easy home to fall in love with.
