About this home
READY-TO-BUILD HOME Rare opportunity to acquire land along with a permit-ready home, ready-to-build in Lakewood. Renderings depict the approved home design. Home is not yet constructed. Unlike a typical vacant lot purchase, 1486 Hopkins Avenue includes substantial predevelopment work already completed, including a fully designed single-family residence, construction documents, Architectural Review Board approval, site engineering, geotechnical report, and a clear path to construction. The proposed residence features approximately 1,680 square feet with 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a full basement, detached garage, and private rear courtyard. Inspired by the enduring character of Lakewood's historic homes, the design balances timeless architecture with modern functionality and has been carefully developed to maximize both livability and market appeal. The property is located within an eligible Census Tract for Lakewood's Homeowner Tax Abatement Program, offering the potential for significant property tax savings. Permit-ready project with construction drawings, engineering reports, and established construction budgets available for review. Buyers can confidently evaluate both the design and anticipated construction costs before moving forward. Well suited for builders, investors, or end users seeking to bypass months of planning, design, approvals, and consultant coordination. Buyers may utilize existing builder relationships developed for the project or engage a builder of their choosing. Qualified buyers are invited to schedule a project review with the architect to discuss the design package, approvals, construction budgets, and available builder introductions.
