Property Description
Have your cake and eat it too - this one leaves no crumbs. This Creston-Kenilworth bungalow has been lovingly updated while preserving all its rich 1920s character. Gleaming engineered hardwood floors and a wood-burning fireplace are complemented by newer windows, colorful tile, and thoughtfully remodeled kitchen and bathroom spaces, creating a home that's as charming as it is turnkey. The welcoming entry, complete with a built-in bench, serves as the ultimate drop zone for shoes, coats, and backpacks. Beyond, the living spaces flow seamlessly into the generous kitchen, featuring an island, quartz countertops, newer cabinetry, and stainless steel appliances, including a gas range and exhaust hood. Two bedrooms and a sleek full bath occupy the main level, while downstairs offers even more flexibility with a bonus family room and a private guest suite—ideal for visitors, multigenerational living, or work-from-home needs. Outside, enjoy peaceful mornings on the front porch or spend afternoons in the fully fenced backyard, thoughtfully divided into two distinct areas for play, gardening, pets, or entertaining. A long driveway and extra-deep garage provide abundant off-street parking and storage. The beauty here extends beyond the cosmetic updates. Major system improvements include PEX supply lines (2020), electrical wiring (2020), furnace and A/C (2020), sewer line (2019), main water line (2021), exterior paint (2019, refreshed in 2026), many newer windows (2020), and newer retaining walls, driveway, and fencing (2022–2024). Set back from the street and conveniently close to parks, schools, cafés, and neighborhood favorites, this home delivers the total package: timeless character, gorgeous finishes, and peace of mind. Come settle in.
