Description

Welcome home! This beautifully maintained cape sits on the corner of East Oak Street and Vine Street right in between downtown Kent and KSU. Larger than it appears from the street, this three-bedroom home has both a living room/dining room combination and a giant family room addition. Two bedrooms and the full bathroom are on first floor. Original hardwood floors stretch from the living room to the downstairs bedrooms. Charming painted woodwork and glass doorknobs lend a sense of elegance to this portion of the house. The kitchen is freshly painted in the prettiest green and has plenty of space to work. Upstairs you will find a room dedicated to storage with walk-in closets and built-in cabinets. This room leads to the third bedroom. With vintage paneling and sloped ceilings, this would also make a wonderful office. Outside, a brick patio area is surrounded by shrubs and landscaping to make a private escape from the world. A one-car attached garage offers ample storage above and work benches for project space.
