Located in a prime Kent neighborhood, within a 6 min drive to 167— this one delivers with a rare NO HOA setting tucked at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac. This 2,260 sq. ft. 2-story home blends thoughtful updates with a layout that truly lives well. A grand chef’s kitchen anchors the home, showcasing quartz countertops, custom cabinetry, a gas range, stainless appliances, full-height backsplash, walk-in pantry, and peninsula island—plus a second spice kitchen in the garage for serious culinary pursuits. Fresh paint, new carpet, hardwood floors, and both formal and casual dining spaces create a polished yet comfortable feel. Vaulted ceilings elevate the living room, while the family room’s gas fireplace invites you to stay awhile. Five bedrooms—including a main-floor bedroom—offer flexibility for guests, office space, or evolving needs. The primary retreat features a walk-in closet and a private bath with dual vanities, soaking tub, and separate shower. Outdoors, enjoy a fully fenced yard with an expansive patio, backing to an elementary school, plus a large detached outbuilding with power—perfect as a home office or creative studio. With a 3-car garage, 4-car driveway parking, and just minutes to 167 and nearby shopping, this is a home designed for both ease and ambition.
