Historic Lakewood Country Club Home is The Only Home You Will Ever Need, Want, or Desire

By Candy Evans / March 21, 2019 /

At first, I thought this was a new home. But no no no. The home was built in 1929. In 2008, the owners embarked on one of those “take it to the studs” type remodels, completely changing the interiors, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, expanding a bit, and bringing in crucial updates.

Clifford D. Hutsell Lakewood Treasure: Not Just One-of-a-Kind, the Perfect Home for Unordinary People

By Candy Evans / May 29, 2015 /
