Fresh, stylish, and ready for its next chapter. This beautifully refreshed Kent home pairs soaring vaulted ceilings with bright, open living spaces that feel larger than the square footage suggests. Brand-new interior and exterior paint, updated flooring, and central A/C mean you can spend less time on projects and more time enjoying your new home. The kitchen overlooks the backyard and flows effortlessly into the family room, while separate living and dining spaces provide the flexibility to entertain, work from home, or simply spread out. Step outside to an expansive deck that's built for summer BBQs, morning coffee, and evenings under the stars. The fully fenced backyard offers room to play, garden, or let pets roam, all on a desirable corner lot in Kent Ridge Estates. With a two-car garage, move-in-ready condition, and convenient access to shopping, parks, schools, and commuter routes, this is the kind of home that checks the boxes you didn't even know you had.
