5965 Hayter Tree-lined streets and pride of ownership-this is what this Lakewood neighborhood is all about and why owners make it their forever home. This home has been with one family for almost 45 years and has been lovingly cared for and maintained. What is most striking is the number of windows that bring in natural light. The large, open kitchen with a breakfast bar adds to the bright and airy feel. Enjoy newer flooring, fresh paint, recessed lighting, central air and heat, upgraded windows, a fireplace, indoor laundry, generous attic space, and a separate shower and bathtub. Outside, you'll find a spacious backyard, a long driveway with an automatic gate, and sprinklers. The home's east-facing orientation may also appeal to those who value feng shui. There's more: nearby shopping and dining include Costco, Lakewood Shopping Center, trendy Douglas Park and The Hangar, Cerritos Shopping Center, and Long Beach Towne Center. Mayfair Park and Pool, Lakewood Country Club and Golf Course, and Long Beach Airport are also nearby. The location is convenient for commuters, with access to the 91, 405, and 605 freeways for travel to Los Angeles or Orange County. The bonus is an optional HOA membership that, for $195 a year, offers access to a community pool and clubhouse.
