Property Description

Welcome to 725 Parkway Drive NE, a well kept three-bedroom, one-and-a-quarter-bath brick ranch on a quiet Creston neighborhood street. Step inside to warm hardwood floors in the bedrooms, a gas fireplace that anchors the living room, and a bathroom with a a classic white shower with glass block for ample natural lighting without compromising privacy. The kitchen is ready for everyday cooking, with a newer refrigerator, stovetop, wall oven and dishwasher. Ceiling fans, an eat-in kitchen, and a practical single-level layout make the house easy to live in from the first night. The peace of mind is in the solid bones of this classic brick ranch. Newer ductwork runs throughout. Replacement double hung windows with screens, a newer sliding door, and updated PVC plumbing in place of the old galvanized lines are already done. The furnace, water heater, and central air are all newer within the last few years , and a newer dryer rounds out the laundry setup. Subdivision feel with no HOA. Downstairs, the lower level is partially finished with wall paneling and black painted ceilings and full of possibility: Laundry, a work area, and room to store, workshop, or finish a recreational space on your own timeline. A quarter bath is already part of the lower-level layout and could easily be made more private and its own room by the addition of 3 walls and a door adding a ton of value and convenience. Outside, a spacious deck and patio open to a tree lined fenced backyard made for coffee in the morning and summer evenings under the lighted pergola. The level lot is about 0.19 acre (roughly 70 by 119 feet), but doesn't feel small as it backs up to a large wooded area. The home boasts classic brick exterior and an attached one-car drive through garage giving you an added amenity. Location is the quiet advantage. Parkway sits in Creston, Grand Rapids' largest neighborhood, a short hop from Plainfield Avenue's shops and restaurants, and minutes from Riverside Park, the city's largest park, with river trails, disc golf, and kayak access that tie into the White Pine Trail, Huff Park, bus routes, and quick freeway access to US-131, I-96, and downtown are all close. Grand Rapids Public Schools serve the address, with the K-8 Northpark Montessori Academy School located around the corner. Move-in ready, a fenced yard, and a street that still feels like a neighborhood. Come see why this one won't sit on the market long. **SELLER RESERVES WINDOW CURTAINS, BRACKETS/RODS STAY *Antique Pool table and rug in the rec room remain with the home NEIGHBORHOOD INFORMATION : 725 Parkway sits on the north edge of Creston, Grand Rapids' largest neighborhood, just south of 4 Mile and a short drive west of Plainfield.
