About this home

Under $500K in a $700K+ neighborhood! Packed with 2,340 sq ft of pure potential — the bones are solid. The layout is money. This Kent split-level is the bargain that seasoned investors have been waiting for. Four bedrooms, three bathrooms, two wood-burning fireplaces, and a lower-level suite with its own private exterior entry, ¾ bath, and dedicated laundry. Built-in rental income before you've swung a single hammer. Open-concept main level flows to a deck, fully fenced backyard, brick paver patio, and oversized two-car garage. Granite island kitchen ready for a cosmetic refresh. Location? This is where it gets serious. Minutes from Amazon, Boeing, and Blue Origin. Easy commute to Microsoft in Redmond. SeaTac Airport just 12 miles away, making this a natural target for corporate housing and traveling professionals. Sound Transit to downtown Seattle puts the entire tech corridor within reach without a car. Kent's rental demand is fierce — 193,000+ regional tech workers need housing...
