This is a new construction on the original foundation where the brick walls have been restored and everything else replaced. High quality custom work was performed by master craftsmen. WELCOME TO CHERRY CRUSH. As you drive through the one-way quiet block, the house won’t go un-noticed with its charming curb appeal of its original traditional design restored to perfection and complemented with a designer front porch and stairs as well as concrete front yard patio with a freshly planted cherry tree. Walk up the flagstone steps through the wide entrance door to the perfect size living area; you will immediately notice the tiled foyer with exposed brick wall, perfect location to put an electric fireplace.

Walk out through the back door to the spacious wooden deck, ideal place for a quiet breakfast at sunrise, or even entertaining friends and family on a warm spring evening; and if you’re looking for more privacy, walk down to the fenced back yard with super straight concrete patio. Alongside the kitchen is a conveniently located guest powder room beautifully tiled with Spanish heritage porcelain tiles.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
