About this home

Extensively upgraded Finn Hill retreat offering remarkable privacy and flexible living space. Renovated far beyond cosmetic updates, this move-in-ready home features vaulted ceilings, abundant natural light, and an open-concept layout for comfortable living and effortless entertaining. The remodeled kitchen flows into the dining and living areas, creating an inviting heart of the home. The main level offers four spacious bedrooms, including a generous primary suite, updated bathrooms, and refreshed finishes throughout. The daylight lower level provides exceptional flexibility with additional gathering space, guest accommodations, a dedicated office, full bath, and adaptable areas for recreation, hobbies, extended stays, or evolving household needs. Step from the deck into a private, mature landscaped garden retreat with flowering jasmine, multiple gathering spaces, and privacy rarely found in Finn Hill. Major improvements include a Presidential® Shake roof (2022), Andersen windows, James Hardie® siding, rain-screen construction, continuous Rockwool insulation, mini-split heating and cooling, upgraded electrical service, generator readiness, and a completed pre-inspection. A peaceful retreat minutes from Kirkland parks, shopping, dining, and schools—with the expensive work already completed!
