Retail and dining hubs along Glenwood Avenue and near Crabtree provide everyday convenience, with local favorites and national brands close at hand.

“The Beth Hines Team came for a pre-listing appointment and gave advice on what we need to do to present the house at listing. We repainted the house and did the improvements to the kitchen cabinet, as well as flooring as recommended. The house went on the market a few days prior to a major snowstorm During the snowstorm, the house was shown twice, and we had an offer to purchase from the second showing. The offer was full price and closed within 45 days. We are very pleased with the results from the Beth Hines team.”
