This split-level home has been thoughtfully maintained and offers a backyard that truly steals the show. Inside, the classic floor plan features a connected living area with a charming kitchen-to-living cutout and a pantry for storage. French doors off the dining room open to a large, sunny deck. All 3 bedrooms are conveniently located upstairs, including a primary suite with its own 3/4 bath. Downstairs you'll find a cozy family room, a half bath with laundry, and the attached 2 car garage - complete with a workbench and extra storage. The fenced yard has undergone a major transformation and is ready for summer! It offers a large, flat lawn and a raised area with mature landscaping, including a whimsical palm tree. Perfect for hosting backyard BBQs, gardening, or running through the sprinklers. The big-ticket projects have already been completed, including new roof and gutters, deck, exterior paint, and new water line. The home's stellar location "off the hill" (as locals say) provides flat, easy access to Juanita Village shopping center and Juanita Beach Park! Whether you choose to drive, bike, or walk, you'll love the proximity and lack of hills. Another perk is the local footpath leading straight to Juanita Elementary's field and playground, just one block away, which makes for a quick and safe stroll to school. Tucked in a quiet neighborhood (no HOA) and convenient to 405, Totem Lake, and downtown Kirkland. Top-rated Lake WA School District. You will love living here!
