Proudly owned and meticulously maintained since 1961, this Upper Kennydale daylight rambler is a rare opportunity to own a true classic. You know the old adage, “they don’t build them like they used to”? This home is exactly that. Solid craftsmanship and pride of ownership shine throughout. Mid-century charm meets comfortable living with abundant natural light, open-concept spaces, and seamless flow between the kitchen, dining, and living areas—perfect for everyday life and entertaining. A commercial-grade 60-mil PVC roof (installed 2017) with heat-welded seams offers exceptional durability and peace of mind. The daylight lower level provides ideal flexibility for multi-generational living, guests, or bonus space. Step outside to a spacious backyard ready for summer barbecues, gardening, or quiet mornings with coffee. Enjoy stunning sunsets, Olympic mountains and partial Lake Washington views from this sought-after Renton neighborhood. The oversized 2-car garage includes a bump-out for a workbench or hobbies, plus an RV pad with water, power, and sewer hookups—no HOA restrictions and potential ADU flexibility. Close to schools, parks, shopping, and commuter routes, this is suburban tranquility with city-close convenience. A timeless home ready for its next chapter.
