Tucked away in the back of Timberlane on a private cul-de-sac, this beautifully renovated tri-level sits on an incredible and increasingly hard to find, fully fenced 16,010 sqft lot—one of the largest in the neighborhood! With room to spread out both inside and out, this home offers a rare combination of privacy, flexible living space and thoughtful improvements throughout. The exterior has been painted, the front porch rebuilt, and a new front door welcomes you inside. You’ll find fresh, bright interior paint, new vinyl plank flooring, modern lighting and a comfortable layout with multiple spaces to relax. The main level is filled with natural light and features a spacious living room centered around a wood-burning fireplace. The adjoining dining area features a charming bay window, while the kitchen has new countertops and an easy flow between the main living spaces. Upstairs, the primary suite has been beautifully transformed, including a remodeled bathroom with walk-in shower, new vanity and stylish finishes. Two additional bedrooms and a beautifully renovated full guest bath complete the upper level. The lower level offers an open bonus room with pellet stove and laundry area, a convenient half bath and an additional bedroom or bonus room that could easily serve as a home office, guest space, hobby room or workout area. Located in the desirable Kent School District with convenient access to Hwy 18 this is a rare opportunity to enjoy privacy in a space of your own!
