Renovated from top to bottom, this 1926 Crestwood Craftsman pairs original charm with today’s conveniences! You’ll find cedar shake siding, stone accents, tall box beam ceilings, built-ins, and polished hardwoods alongside updated wiring, HVAC, paint, and lighting. The dining room flows into the kitchen and features quartz countertops, tile flooring, and modern fixtures. On the main level, the primary suite offers a marble bath and walk-in closet, plus there’s a second bedroom and an updated hall bath with a restored clawfoot tub. The finished basement adds over 780 sqft with a full bath, cedar closet, and laundry area. Relax on the large front porch, entertain on the back deck, and enjoy the fenced yard with gazebo. The pull-through garage adds convenience and ample parking in the driveway. Just 2 miles to downtown, and a short walk to Crestwood Park and Avondale. Schedule your showing today!
