Property details

About 1607 Center Ave NE

Large and nicely improved four bedroom and two full bath home in the hot Creston neighborhood. Walkability and the peace of mind knowing the big-ticket expenses are done. The roof, gutters, furnace and air conditioning are all less than two years old. The windows have been replaced, and the stainless appliances are like new. You'll love cooking (and eating!) in the huge eat in kitchen and formal dining room. There is a main floor bedroom and full bath, and the classic oak floors flow throughout. Ceiling fans and updated bathrooms (must see shower!) with laundry in the upstairs bath. The yard is fenced, and the big garage can fit three cars end to end. All the updates in this house give you time to kick it cool on the generous front porch and get to know some of the best neighbors around.
