- Classic two-story in the heart of Creston, offering 3 bedrooms, 1 bath, 1,448 sqft of living space on an oversized corner lot that sits next to the recently renovated Briggs Park, playground, multi-purpose field with new turf, freshly resurfaced track, new outdoor lighting, plus pool, tennis, and basketball courts all just steps from the back door. Kent Country Club's fairways are visible right from the yard, and Riverside Park is a two-minute walk away. City High/Middle School is within walking distance as well. Inside, the home blends original character with the kind of updates buyers look for in older Creston homes. The main floor offers a comfortable living and dining layout with a refreshed kitchen and a full bath, while two bedrooms sit upstairs and a third bedroom is conveniently located on the main floor. Recent improvements include a new water service line to the street, new furnace, new water heater, and all-new plumbing supply lines. Updated light switches and outlets
