South of South St., this spacious 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath Lakewood home pairs original character with thoughtful updates, including a new roof installed in 2024, all in a great location just 2 blocks from Lakewood Mall. The home offers both a living room and a family room, enough space to entertain and spread out. The living and dining rooms flow seamlessly together and open to the backyard through French doors, while the kitchen and family room have their own connection to the outdoors, an easy layout for entertaining family and friends. A convenient half bath sits just off the kitchen and family room. Toward the front of the home, three original bedrooms and a full bathroom keep the charm of the original build, with original hardwood floors throughout. Upstairs, a primary suite added in the mid-1970s is a true retreat: a large en-suite with a walk-in closet and an updated primary bathroom featuring a freestanding tub and walk-in shower. A private balcony completes the upstairs, the perfect spot for starting mornings or winding down evenings. A one-car garage provides parking or extra storage and houses the laundry area. The backyard is a blank canvas, already set up with a concrete pad off the dining and family rooms, open grassy space, and a planter ready for vegetables or fruit trees. The location is hard to beat: shopping and dining at Lakewood Mall are a short walk away, The Hangar in Long Beach is 10 minutes off, and the 605 and 91 freeways are close by.

Hi, I'm 5795 Acacia Lane, a modern tri-level townhome in Lakewood with 3 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms and approximately 1,870 square feet of living space. I was built in 2016, so while I appreciate homes with "character," I also appreciate things like central air, an attached 2-car garage and plumbing from this century. Call me practical.Step inside and you'll find a floor plan that understands not every part of life needs to happen in the same room. My three levels create natural separation between living, entertaining and sleeping, with an open main living area featuring high ceilings, recessed lighting, wood flooring and plenty of natural light. My kitchen stays connected to the action with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, generous cabinetry and an open layout, because whoever is making dinner should not be punished by missing the conversation. And yes, takeout looks perfectly respectable on granite too.Upstairs, you'll find three bedrooms, including a primary suite with its own bath and walk-in closet. With 3.5 bathrooms throughout the home, morning negotiations over who gets the mirror should be kept to a minimum. I also have interior laundry, central heating and air, plantation shutters, and a private patio for morning coffee, dinner outside or your latest attempt at keeping a plant alive.Then there's my attached 2-car garage. In Southern California, I could probably stop talking right there, but I won't. My community also offers landscaped common areas with BBQ and picnic spaces, guest parking and room to get outside without having to maintain an entire backyard yourself. Think community when you want it, your own space when you don't.And when you do venture beyond the neighborhood, my Lakewood location keeps everyday life conveniently close, with shopping, dining, recreation and surrounding Long Beach and Los Angeles County communities within easy reach.All in all, I'm nearly 1,900 square feet of surprisingly flexible living wrapped into one very practical Lakewood package: three bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, three levels, private outdoor space, interior laundry and an attached 2-car garage. No dramatic gimmicks required. I simply have a lot of the things people actually want in a home, and I happen to clean up pretty well, too. I also may qualify for the The Hello Home Grant Program from $10,000 to $20,000 - I am in a Mid to Upper Income Census Tract and appears to qualify subject to borrower income limits for the exclusive City National Bank/RBC U.S. Mortgage program. We have a lender, if interested. Come see me in person, attend an Open House, or contact the listing team for additional information. Just don't be surprised if I make three-story living look pretty good.
