A weeping willow trails its branches over the front walk, framing a storybook Craftsman with black-trimmed panes and an arched gable. Here, on one of the nearest single-family streets to downtown Kirkland with its serene waterfront, Marina Park, premier dining and boutique shopping scene. Lake Washington sunrises, Saturday market runs, and dinners by the water all sit moments away. Mornings at home carry their own quiet pleasure, as light stretches through a wall of windows in the living room, pouring over rich maple floors and crown molding. Beyond, a sprawling kitchen glows with warmth, stainless appliances, a gas range, and custom cabinetry that gives everything its place. The south-facing porch calls for a glass of wine as evening settles in. Gatherings unfold under the vaulted dining room, then spill outside, where a new Trex deck leads to a paver patio beside a cedar trellis screen lit by lantern glow. Trees turning gold and amber each fall frame the spacious lawn, setting the stage for evenings that stretch late. Upstairs, the primary suite offers dual closets and an updated bath with frameless shower, soaking tub, and dual vanities; a den and laundry complete the level. Below, two bedrooms share a full bath for flexible living. Garage, driveway, and street parking offer ample options, with storage throughout. From this address, Kirkland connects easily to Bellevue, Redmond, Seattle, Google, and Microsoft.
