    What's special

    Amazing opportunity for a savvy buyer to design their dream home in beautiful Kent! This mostly original canvas needs a total renovation and sits on a large 8,000+ sq. ft. lot. Loaded with potential, this "as is" sale requires a cash buyer with a budget and vision. The home was built in 1942 by a builder as his personal residence, and it shows in the original character, including high ceilings, wood floors, arched entries, and custom molding. The main living area is grand and well-balanced, featuring a sun-filled family room with a half bath, a large living room with a fireplace, a formal dining room, a kitchen with a sunroom/breakfast area, and a screened-in porch off the back. The upper level features four nicely sized bedrooms and two full baths. There is an unfinished walk-up attic currently used for storage and could be easily converted into useful finished space. The property is situated on an elevated lot in a sought-after neighborhood and conveniently located for easy commutes. The lower level is partially finished and has a full bath. It has not been used in some time and needs to be investigated for water intrusion, but it is useful space and connected to a large two car garage. Qualified buyers only—this home is not move-in ready but holds great potential for the right buyer. Reach out to your agent and contractor and schedule a showing today or contact the listing agent for more information. Offers Due Friday , June 7th by 2PM.
