Classy, Spacious Condo Offers Walkable Lifestyle in Lakewood

Condos and townhomes are only going to grow in popularity in Lakewood, as more and more aging multifamily structures — including the brick duplexes and fourplexes that line many of the side streets off of Gaston Avenue — are razed. This development, built in 2006 right off of Oram Street, is a great example of a well-maintained condo building with beautiful finish-out and livable, warm spaces. Britt Lopez of Dallas City Center Realtors has listed No. 16 at 6269 Oram Street for $540,000.

“This quiet condo is tucked away right in the heart of Lakewood within walking distance to all the fun that Lakewood Shopping center has to offer!” says Lopez. “I think it’s perfect for someone looking for an easy lifestyle with plenty to do close by.”

Not only is this condo close to Lakewood Shopping Center, as Lopez notes, but it’s sandwiched on the other side by the shops and businesses at Skillman and Live Oak streets. And while this two-story, two-bedroom, two-full-and-one-half-bath home has a two-car garage, you’ll likely need only a bike to go everywhere. Just a little farther down is Greenville Avenue, and just a bit farther still is Henderson. You’ll never want for food or entertainment!

But, considering this hot location, this unit is exceedingly private. “This premium location at the back of the complex and back of the building means that you get more windows and green space surrounding the unit,” Lopez added.

Inside, you have all the upgrades that today’s buyer wants, complete with an open floor plan that showcases the gleaming hardwoods and perfectly transitional finishes in the kitchen. Privacy-oriented folks will appreciate the plantation shutters throughout. I love the contemporary hardware in the kitchen, which goes perfectly with the stainless steel GE Monogram appliances, granite counters, eat-in island, and designer light fixtures. Just past the kitchen is a bar complete with wine refrigerator.

Both bedrooms with attached baths are upstairs, but the master has a five-piece bath with a spacious vanity and an enormous walk-in closet. There’s so much storage here! Side note: If you’re worried about the energy costs to keep all 2,337 square feet of this condo cool in the summer, never fear — it comes with two Nest thermostats! 

As you can see, this unit has more outdoor space than its neighbors, which is perfect for those who want a low-maintenance lifestyle but still need a little greenery for their pups. In case you were wondering, the HOA fees for this development are 330 monthly and include exterior maintenance, front yard maintenance, gas, maintenance of common areas, management fees, reserves, sprinkler system, trash, water and sewer. Owners are responsible for cable, internet, and electricity. 

Sounds like a pretty great deal!
