About this home
Completely transformed from the studs out, this stunning 3-bedroom, 2-bath, 1.5-story home has undergone an extensive, fully permitted remodel on an incredible large corner lot. Not your typical cosmetic flip, this is beautifully redesigned with quality finishes throughout, including a gorgeous kitchen featuring quartz slab countertops, full-height tile backsplash, soft-close cabinetry, undercabinet lighting, and modern fixtures. Luxury vinyl plank flooring, beautifully tiled shower surrounds, and a spacious primary bathroom with double vanity add to the home’s appeal. The 1.5-story layout offers additional flexibility and character, while the expansive corner lot provides exceptional outdoor space with room for RV and boat parking, entertaining, gardening, and more. Conveniently located near shopping, dining, parks, schools, and major commuter routes connecting Kent, Renton, and Seattle. A rare opportunity to own a substantially remodeled home with modern finishes, an oversized lot, and room to spread out.
