About this home
Lighting Your Way Home to this beautifully updated residence in the sought-after Country Meadows Subdivision in Kirkland! As you arrive, take note of the attractive curb appeal with refreshed mulch beds and clean, defined borders, leading to a cozy covered front porch that sets the tone for warmth and comfort inside. Step inside the welcoming foyer that opens into an inviting dining and living room, featuring a soothing color palette, abundant natural light from newer windows, and modern luxury vinyl flooring that flows seamlessly throughout the main level. The home has been freshly painted throughout most of the interior (2026), including the main and upper levels, creating a crisp, refreshed look throughout. The fully remodeled kitchen is truly the heart of the home, showcasing two-toned custom cabinetry-including convenient built-in outlets in select cabinets-a stylish backsplash, and color-changing ambient lighting controlled by remote, along with soft-close doors and drawers, a spacious island, gleaming quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, a farmhouse sink, and a convenient pantry-ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. Sliding glass doors open to your private outdoor oasis featuring a generous two-tiered deck with a pergola-covered section, plenty of space for grilling with a natural gas line already piped to the deck, and a sparkling Kayak above-ground swimming pool as the centerpiece, featuring an in-ground style filtration system and a new liner (2023)-perfect for entertaining, summer fun, and everyday relaxation. Convenience meets function with a spacious main-floor laundry room, highlighted by a large window that fills the space with natural light. As you make your way upstairs, you'll find a generously sized primary suite offering a relaxing retreat with an ensuite bath featuring a soaking tub and separate shower, along with a walk-in closet. Three additional bedrooms-two with walk-in closets and one with a standard closet-share a full hall bathroom. New carpet (2026) extends through the bedrooms and stairs for a fresh, cohesive feel. The finished basement adds even more living space, featuring a large recreation room and bonus room, a full bath with stand-up shower, a dedicated storage room, and a central vacuum system for added convenience. Additional highlights include a heated two-car garage for year-round comfort and a new roof (2026) and Home Warranty for added peace of mind.
