Tucked beneath towering evergreens on an oversized lot, this beautifully updated Kirkland Highlands home delivers the rare combination of privacy, space, and unbeatable city convenience. Vaulted ceilings and an open-concept layout create a light-filled main living area with a cozy wood-burning fireplace, a remodeled kitchen and spacious dining space, perfect for everyday living and entertaining. Three bedrooms are thoughtfully arranged on one level, including a generous primary suite and an additional full bathroom. The lower level expands your living options with a large great room, a ¾ bath, and a flexible space ideal for a fourth bedroom or home office. French doors, from the upper and lower levels, lead to a rebuilt Ipe deck overlooking a serene, park-like yard, your own private escape. Recent upgrades include a heat pump, tankless water heater, triple-pane windows, fresh interior paint and new carpet; this home is truly move-in ready. The oversized 2-car garage has tons of space to store your holiday decorations, recreational gear or even your personal wood shop. All of this, just minutes from Google, parks, trails, downtown Kirkland and top-rated Lake Washington schools, including Peter Kirk Elementary. Come check it out!
