687 Crestview Avenue

The home everyone wants but rarely finds has entered the chat. A quiet West Akron street just became the main character. Tucked away on Crestview Ave, this classic colonial delivers the kind of balance buyers are chasing right now: timeless charm, thoughtful updates, and a layout that simply makes sense. From the moment you step inside, refinished hardwood floors and natural light set the tone, warm, inviting, and unmistakably home. The living room is anchored by a timeless fireplace and feels equally suited for cozy nights in or hosting friends. Across the hall, the dining room was made for long dinners and good conversations, with updated lighting and a French door that opens to a screened-in porch you’ll find yourself using more than expected. The kitchen offers ceramic tile flooring, a cozy breakfast nook, and plenty of cabinet space, blending function with everyday comfort. A convenient half bath near the rear entrance keeps the main level practical without interrupting the flow. Upstairs, a charming central landing connects three generously sized bedrooms, all filled with natural light and finished with hardwood floors. The full bathroom has been tastefully updated with clean tile work, modern fixtures, and a calm, cohesive palette that feels fresh without chasing trends. The lower level provides excellent storage and laundry hookups, while behind the scenes, major improvements like central air, renovated bathrooms, fresh interior paint, and newer mechanicals mean the heavy lifting has already been done. Outside, mature landscaping offers shade and privacy, and a detached two-car garage completes the picture. All of this sits just minutes from shops, schools, and highway access, close enough to be convenient, far enough to feel peaceful. This isn’t a house that tries too hard. It doesn’t need to. Homes like this don’t stay quiet for long.
