More space. More light. A true primary suite. A floor plan made for gathering. Perfectly positioned on a sun-filled corner lot in the highly desirable Lakewood Mutuals, 5102 Obispo brings together so many of the things buyers hope to find — a coveted three-bedroom, two-bath configuration, approximately 1,722 square feet of living space, an en-suite primary bedroom, and an exceptional expanded floor plan that lives beautifully. Inside, refinished hardwood floors bring warmth and character, while separate formal living and dining rooms and an eat-in kitchen create distinct spaces that still feel connected. There’s an ease to the layout — room to gather, room to retreat, and room for life to evolve. And then comes the space that changes everything. Just beyond the kitchen, a massive, seamlessly integrated family room addition dramatically expands the heart of the home. Anchored by a wood-burning fireplace and opening directly to the backyard, it’s made for the moments that become memories — movie nights by the fire, birthday parties spilling outside, holiday mornings, homework at the table, and a house full of friends. It’s the kind of generous, flexible living space so rarely found in the neighborhood. The corner setting makes the home feel even more special, capturing abundant southern light while giving the property a wonderful sense of openness. Outside, beautiful curb appeal is framed by professionally installed turf, drought-tolerant landscaping, mature cypress trees, and automatic irrigation. A two-car garage provides everyday convenience, while modern central heating and air conditioning keeps the home comfortable year-round. All of this is tucked into the beloved Lakewood Mutuals, with nearby parks, schools, shopping, and dining — including easy access to Bolivar Park and Lakewood Center. Space to spread out. Light pouring in. A fireplace to gather around. A backyard just beyond. 5102 Obispo has all the ingredients of a home meant to be lived in, loved, and filled with memories.
