This livable and progressively updated Kenmore home offers opportunity for a “house hack” or rental investment as well as a starter home with sweat equity potential. Set on a 0.36-acre lot, the home features vaulted ceilings, gas cooking, energy-efficient vinyl windows, solid-core six-panel doors, and contemporary finishes throughout.
The basement has concrete flooring perfect for home gym, a profitable low-maintenance and pet-friendly Air BNB, or rolling your easels (in the case of the owner’s profession!). There is a full bath downstairs and functional washer/dryer hookups downstairs in the closet of bedroom #3. There is also a drain in the floor, so perhaps a kitchenette or additional bath could be added there. The wall between the den/office space and the third bedroom is not load-bearing and could be moved if desired.
The owner had the home inspected in 2024 and started making repairs based on those suggestions. She replaced the roof and removed the woodstove from the living room. She also has been replacing some decking boards, although the structure of the deck is solid. The windows have already been replaced, and she has purchased some nice appliances like a top-end all-in-one washer/dryer for clothing in the upstairs utility room, and a stainless steel gas stove.
There is a large shed that has been grandfathered-in, allowing to you use more of the yard space before encountering the wetland buffer zone in the rear of the lot. Because the space behind the house is protected, you won’t have to worry about tall/skinny townhomes coming in and replacing your nature view. Instead you’ll hear birds during the day and frogs at night. You can look out your kitchen window in the evening and see the sun setting through the trees.
The home is Located in a growing neighborhood surrounded by new construction properties – most of which are crammed onto tiny lots. Things are up-and-coming in Kenmore and homes like this with a large yard are becoming more scarce and valuable all the time. This is a rare chance to own a well-located, younger Kenmore home with the opportunity to build equity and fit it for your use!
