Description

It's all about the location!! Within walking distance to downtown Kent/Water Street where the city has so many quaint gift and coffee shops, restaurants and more! Kent State University is also within 1 mile of your new home! Are you looking to make your decorating style that modern shabby chic or rustic look? The base is already set! Just bring your personal belongings! Rich with character this home boasts a gourmet kitchen with stainless steel appliances, beverage fridge, built-in seating, mobile stainless-steel island and entry to the mudroom. Fantastic office or 4th bedroom that has its own entrance but also leads into the house! It has built-in bookcases, brick wall accents and a faux gas fireplace! The first-floor laundry room is the absolute best! Gorgeous built-ins and bench with old barn wood and sliding doors! The first-floor full bathroom is stunning! Live edge countertop, exposed brick accent wall and a soaking tub! It's even better in person! This section of the house would also make an awesome teen suite or private area to have a home office or 4th bedroom! 24x36 heated garage/workshop/art studio/yoga room or invite your friends over to start learning pottery! SO many possibilities with this space! The previous owner used this as her art studio, but the current owner has installed a garage door and more can be added if the new owner desires. Large workbench area with a sink and a wall of windows!! Second floor master bedroom has vaulted and beamed ceiling that feels very rustic! Full basement, newer central air unit (2 years old), garage door (2 yrs old), furnace approx 6 years old, gutters on the front end of the house approx. 7 years old. The lot feels so private and all nestled in! Immediate possession!
