Description: Freshly updated & well maintained, this 1-level home in the Lakewood community of Opelika offers easy living just minutes from shopping, dining, EAMC, Auburn University, I-85, & Hwy 280. Inside, the vaulted great room is anchored by a floor-to-ceiling brick fireplace & flows naturally into the dining area, creating an inviting space for everyday living & gathering with friends. The kitchen is tucked just out of sight while remaining open to the dining room, offering both separation & connection to the main living spaces. Fresh interior paint throughout (2026) creates a bright, move-in-ready feel, while the primary suite features new flooring (2026), a private bath, & a generous walk-in closet. The kitchen has been refreshed with a new range, range hood, & dishwasher (May 2026), along with a refrigerator replaced within the last year. A NEW ROOF & vapor barrier (June 2026) add peace of mind. The Blink home security system, countertop microwave, & air fryer will all remain with the home too! A screened porch extends the home outdoors, offering the perfect place for morning coffee, quiet evenings, or sharing time with family & friends. Beyond, the backyard provides room for an above-ground pool, a fire pit, or simply enjoying the wooded tree line where the current owners have often watched deer pass through. Mature edible landscaping—including blueberry bushes, plum trees, asparagus, & perennial herbs—adds a homegrown touch, where each harvest is a quiet reminder to slow down & enjoy the simple pleasures of home. The detached workshop, complete with electricity & a cooling unit, offers a versatile space for hobbies, projects, or additional storage. Practical features continue throughout with abundant storage, including a spacious laundry room with a built-in pantry, pull-down attic access, outbuildings, & under-deck space. Recent updates, established landscaping, inviting in & outdoor spaces come together to create a home ready to be enjoyed.
