Modern architecture meets everyday livability in the heart of Kirkland's desirable Houghton neighborhood! Striking contemporary design, warm wood accents, and beautifully landscaped grounds set the stage for this thoughtfully crafted 4-bedroom home. Enjoy the independence of a detached single-family residence with no shared walls, no condominium ownership, and no HOA! Inside, solid hardwood floors and natural light welcome you into an inviting great room anchored by a gas fireplace. The kitchen impresses with Sub-Zero refrigeration, a Wolf gas range, generous quartz island, and walk-in pantry, flowing effortlessly into the open dining and living areas. A versatile main-level bedroom is ideal for guests, a home office, or flex space. Upstairs, retreat to the primary suite featuring a walk-in closet and spa-inspired bath with heated floors, along with two additional bedrooms and a dedicated laundry room. Outside, enjoy a spacious, level backyard with room to entertain, garden, or simply unwind. A detached backyard shed with electrical service adds practical storage and invites ideas for a creative studio or personal retreat, with any conversion subject to city approval. An attached garage and generous off-street parking add everyday convenience. Exceptional finishes, thoughtful design, and the freedom to live comfortably inside and out!
