Great fix and flip opportunity, or a unique value-added, custom-build project for homeowners.

Built in 1941, this brick beauty boasts 2,114 square feet of thoughtfully-designed living space.

The spacious layout also boasts three bedrooms and two bathrooms, and a large rear yard with endless landscaping possibilities and ample space for outdoor cooking, gardening and rejuvenation. The property has a light-filled sunroom, a perfect place for reading, relaxing and reflecting. Crestwood is not just a nice place to live; it's a vibrant community known for its proximity to local parks, boutique shops, and delightful eateries. Whether you're grabbing a coffee at a nearby café or exploring the local farmer's market, you'll find that everything you need is just a stone's throw away. With easy access to public transportation and major thoroughfares, commuting to work or exploring the city is a breeze.
