About This Home

As of April 2026

Welcome home to this well-maintained bi-level nestled on a quiet cul-de-sac along a quiet dead-end street in desirable Kent. Offering both comfort and convenience, this 3-bedroom, 1 full and 2 half bath home features a functional layout with thoughtful updates throughout. The main level welcomes you with a spacious living room, complemented by newer carpet (2024) that continues through the dining room, hallway, and steps. The large eat-in kitchen includes a newer gas range, hood, and dishwasher (2025), making it both stylish and practical for everyday living and provides direct access to the deck that overlooks the large flat backyard ideal for outdoor enjoyment. Three generously sized bedrooms feature beautiful hardwood flooring, including a primary suite with a private half bath that connects to the full bath through a Jack-and-Jill layout. The lower level provides additional living space with a large family room, perfect for relaxing or entertaining, along with a convenient half bath and an oversized laundry room complete with washer and dryer. Additional highlights include an attached oversized two-car garage with a workbench, and numerous updates such as neutral interior paint (2025), roof (2023), and major mechanicals including A/C, furnace, and hot water tank, all replaced within the last 15 years. Ideally located just off West Main Street, this home offers easy access to Route 8 and nearby shopping and dining in Stow. For added peace of mind, the seller is offering a one-year home warranty.
