Nestled on a landscaped corner lot in the sought-after Maplewood Heights community, this original-owner Burnstead home blends timeless Northwest charm with thoughtful updates throughout. A welcoming entry with soaring staircase and formal dining room sets the tone, while abundant natural light-including a solar tube that brightens the staircase and upper level-creates a warm and inviting atmosphere. The beautifully remodeled kitchen (2020) opens seamlessly to the family room, creating the heart of the home. Gather around the extra-long island for casual meals, conversation, and everyday moments. A main-floor office provides flexibility for working from home, while upstairs you'll find spacious bedrooms, a large bonus room, and a generous primary retreat complete with a 5-piece en-suite bath and XL walk-in closet. Major updates include hardwood flooring (2021), new roof and solar tube (2022), exterior paint (2023), new upper-level carpet (2025), and fresh interior paint (2026). Outside, enjoy a patio, level lawn, and flower beds-perfectly sized for entertaining, play, or relaxing summer evenings. Residents of Maplewood Heights enjoy paved sidewalks, walking trails, and a neighborhood park with a playground and basketball court. Ideally located in the Renton Highlands, you'll appreciate convenient access to Bellevue, Seattle, SeaTac Airport, major commuting routes, shopping, dining, and everyday amenities.
