A showpiece of the Creston neighborhood, this all brick Riverside Gardens residence has long been considered as one of the finest in the community. Custom built for Garrit & Blanche DeKoning, this home proudly sits in the heart of the area where Garrit was raised 'in the country' following his birth. The rich history of the original 'Cresonite' owner has evolved with that longstanding neighborhood pride, leading to a gorgeous restoration by the current family who has lovingly resided in the home for over 40 yrs. Now presents an opportunity to carry the torch as the next caretaker of this special NE side residence. While the area community has blossomed with hot spot restaurants, charming shops & great walkability, the charm & character of this property still continue strong. Inside the gleaming hardwood floors, custom built-in's, spectacular woodwork, spacious rooms & cozy nooks will delight. There's even a wonderfully rare family room in the partially finished lower level & an ensuite primary bedroom on the 2nd floor. Outside a private back deck & patio offer the perfect spot to entertain friends & family, while enjoying the meticulously maintained grounds that surround the home. The large, flat grassy area & fenced back yard create an ideal set-up for lawn games, sports practice & barbeques.
