About this home

Investor or "live-in flip" opportunity near Highline College & Light Rail. Bring your vision to this 1962 split-entry home on a generous 10,125 sq ft corner lot at the end of a quiet dead-end street. Traditional layout with a big bonus: the primary suite sits at the back of the house with its own private bathroom and looks out to the backyard. Large kitchen and full dining room space. Sliding glass door to the deck, in-kitchen laundry and plenty of cabinet storage; cabinets are in good shape. Living room features a brick fireplace, a big picture window and vaulted ceiling. Refinish the hardwood floors, repaint and add some trim! Downstairs, a second fireplace warms the partially finished lower-level rec room, and there's a 4th bedroom with closet as well. Exit to the attached 2-car garage. Chimney is wrapped pending a flashing repair. Sold as-is. Bring all offers! Large corner lot may allow for a DADU. Buyer to verify. Less than 1 mile to Highline College and the Kent Des Moines light rail station. Quick access to I-5, Sea-Tac Airport and the Des Moines waterfront. Live in, rent out or flip.
