About this home

Immaculate 2-story home in an unbeatable Kent location, just minutes from Kent State University! This exceptionally well-cared-for 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath home blends classic character with thoughtful updates throughout. The first floor features pristine hardwood floors, a spacious living room, and a tasteful half bath conveniently added just off the living area—an uncommon and highly desirable upgrade for a home of this style. The home offers newer windows and has been meticulously maintained over the years. In 2026, both the house and garage received fresh exterior paint, while the garage roof was also replaced. Outside, you'll find a large 2.5-car garage providing plenty of room for parking, storage, or a workshop. With its convenient location, charming interior, functional updates, and obvious pride of ownership, this home is an excellent opportunity for an owner-occupant, investor, or anyone looking to be close to everything Kent has to offer. Move-in ready and truly a home you can feel good about owning
