Lakewood’s Luxury Market: The Five Priciest Homes Sold Last Week

Lakewood’s real‑estate scene has been buzzing again. Between May 25 and May 31, five homes – each a statement of style, space, and price – left the market with eye‑popping tags. If you thought the area was only about modest family houses, think again.

First up, the crown jewel: a 6,800‑square‑foot waterfront estate on Lakeview Drive that sold for a staggering $5.4 million. Nestled on three acres, the property boasts a private dock, a rooftop terrace with panoramic lake views, and a home theater that would make any cinephile swoon. The new owners reportedly plan a modest renovation, preserving the historic façade while updating the interior tech.

Close behind is a sleek, contemporary mansion on Oakridge Road, fetching $4.9 million. This 5,200‑square‑foot home is all glass and clean lines, featuring an infinity pool that seems to spill directly into the horizon. The open‑plan kitchen, equipped with a chef‑grade Gaggenau suite, quickly became the talk of the neighborhood.

Third on the list is a sprawling colonial on Pinehurst Lane, sold for $4.3 million. Spanning 7,100 sq ft, the property includes ten bedrooms, a wine cellar that can hold over 2,000 bottles, and a private gym. The family who purchased it is rumored to be a local business dynasty, looking to turn the estate into a multi‑generational home.

Next, a beautifully restored Tudor on Maple Grove commanded $3.8 million. Its ivy‑clad stone exterior hides a 4,900‑square‑foot interior with hand‑crafted woodwork, a library with floor‑to‑ceiling bookshelves, and a sunroom that captures the sunrise over the town.

Rounding out the top five is a modern farmhouse on Willow Creek Road, which sold for $3.5 million. Though it feels rustic at first glance, the 5,000‑square‑foot home surprises you with a hidden wine cellar, a chef’s kitchen with a massive island, and a master suite that opens onto a private meadow.

All together, these sales reflect a growing appetite for luxury in Lakewood – a market that’s clearly not limited to the usual starter homes. Whether you’re a buyer dreaming of a lake view or a seller curious about the ceiling price, the numbers from this past week give you a pretty clear picture of where the high‑end market is headed.
