About This Home

As of December 2025

Check out this beautifully updated 4 bedroom, 2 bath home on the edge of the desirable Creston Neighborhood!

The rare attached garage offers convenience, while the vaulted ceiling kitchen impresses with quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a large island perfect for entertaining. Mid century modern charm shines through exposed beams and tasteful updates, including new vinyl plank flooring. Relax by the cozy fireplace in the den or unwind on the screened porch overlooking the spacious fenced backyard. The roof is only 4 years old, and the basement provides great potential to expand your living space. Set on a private landscaped lot, this home offers the perfect blend of style, comfort, and city living with a touch of tranquility.
