Oak Creek is filled with rows of family homes. The streets are lined with trees bringing vibrant colors to the neighborhood year after year. Brick mail boxes sit at the edge of the lots matching the homes behind them. This is the picture perfect community to raise your family in. The homes are beautiful outside and in. Many of the homes feature a private pool in the backyard, perfect for cooling off in the summer heat and hosting pool parties.
One of the many homes here is a four bedroom, three bathroom dream home. When you step in, the walls are decorated with beautiful soft colors and vintage wallpaper. You have tiles floors, carpeted floors, and hardwood floors throughout the home.

There are built-in shelves next to the fireplace making for a comfortable reading nook. You can’t beat reading by the fire. The kitchen looks as though it was pulled out of a magazine from the eighties with old-fashioned wallpaper and lovely wooden cabinets. The carpeted bedrooms are spacious with broad windows and large closets. The master bedroom is spacious with several windows, a door to the patio, and a one-of-a-kind charm that pairs so well with the rest of the home. The vintage tones and wallpaper throughout the home along with valances on all of the windows bring a special touch to the home that you don’t see very often in this day and age.
In the large master bathroom, you’ll find dual vanities, a step-in shower, and a separate bath tub. One of the separate bathrooms has dual sinks, which helps tremendously if you have multiple children in the home. No more fighting over who uses the sink first, and this area is separate from the bathtub and toilet area, so one kid can shower while the other is still able to use the vanity area to brush their teeth and get ready for school. The dining area is formal, and the family room is a decent size for a big family. The front and backyards are also spacious. The front yard has so much room to run around in. You can set a bench out front to enjoy the shade of the trees when the weather permits. There is a large patio and yard in the back to run around within the safety of a fenced in area. This is a great space for birthday parties and family fun nights. Barbecues and picnics, trampolines, swimming pools, and more can fit into this spacious backyard.
