About This Home
Say ''Hello!'' to this unassuming yet stunning mid-century modern gem! With original brickwork and classic exterior details (did someone say ''built-in planters?!''), this home seamlessly blends 1950s charm with thoughtful updates designed for today's lifestyle. Don't be fooled by its modest curb appeal - inside, this 2 bed, 2 full bath home offers a surprisingly spacious layout and inviting atmosphere.
Ideally located in the heart of the vibrant Northeast side, you're just steps from Kingma's Market, Aberdeen Park, and all the shops, dining, green space and energy the Creston neighborhood has to offer. A welcoming foyer with original slate tile sets the tone, leading into a spacious living room with gleaming wood floors, a cozy wood-burning fireplace, and a new picture window with high UV protection that floods the space with natural light.
The dining area flows naturally into the updated kitchen, featuring a peninsula with bar seating, granite countertops, and stainless steel appliances. Just beyond, a large three-season room with wood ceilings offers a peaceful place to relax and enjoy the neighborhood.
Two generous bedrooms share a full bath beaming of character and charm. A flexible den/bonus room on the main floor makes a great office, reading nook, or play area.
Head downstairs to find an entertainer's dream. Picture this: a bartender hands you a martini while your friends are playing a loud game of cards nearby. "Vertigo" is on the TV while the fire roars in the background. You enjoy your drink in the corner and think how lucky you are to have such an incredible home. Ok, back to reality but that is likely what happened here! A sprawling finished recreation room complete with a beautiful second wood-burning fireplace, built-in wet bar, and plenty of space to host. A second full bath, laundry area with new washer and dryer, storage room, and spacious workshop space complete the expansive lower level.
Outside, enjoy summer on the freshly painted deck, or prepare to be wowed by one of Creston's rarest finds: a two-story barn with a full basement! Whether you're a hobbyist, collector, or just need extra space, this incredible structure is a true standout.
A unique blend of mid-century charm, modern updates, and one-of-a-kind features - this home is not to be missed! Other highlights include new gutters, landscaping, and city water lines. These sellers have gone to great lengths to preserve and show off all the reasons why this home is truly something to marvel and love. Schedule your showing today!
