Tuesday Two Hundred: Lanewood Circle in Lochwood is for The Woodsy Lakewood Lover in You

Love the outdoors? Dream of sitting on a balconey gazing right into Mother Nature, watching the birds flutter? This house at 11311 Lanewood Circle is for you. Lochwood is hands-down one of the most affordable little micro-communities in Lakewood, and here again is a great not-so- little house (1790 square feet) for less than $250,000 (this one is $249,000). You get three bedrooms, three full updated baths, two living areas, a second story with master and that second living area, and even a study off the kitchen. The interiors are contemporary with vaulted ceilings, light and bright with wood floors. I am not going to lie and tell you I would not update that kitchen and trade the black enamel appliances for stainless. Nope, that’s exactly what I’d do. And you should just throw mosquito misters into the deal. No jacuzzi in the master, either, but I managed to live without one until I was 38. (Picky, picky, picky.) The home was built in 1985 with spectacular views of the creek from every window, and many wooded pockets. There is an attached two-car garage with front access, a .19 acre lot, nearby greenbelt, park, playground and tennis courts. Went on the market late November.

P.S. Not sure what I think of this fancy pants on-line presentation, what with the agent “walking” into the picture “looking” at the house, I mean I sure don’t want him to fall into the creek or anything!
