About This Home
This classic post–World War II Cape Cod offers timeless character, modern efficiency, and an unbeatable location. Situated at the corner of two dead-end streets, the home provides a peaceful, low-traffic setting—yet sits right next to Kent State University and within a comfortable walking distance to vibrant downtown Kent.
Completely rebuilt to code inside in 2014, this 4-bedroom, 2 full bath home was thoughtfully updated with R-19 wall insulation and up to R-28 overhead where possible, along with all-new HVAC, electrical, and plumbing systems. A high-efficiency gas furnace and water heater were installed in 2023, ensuring year-round comfort and energy savings. You’ll stay cool in the summer, warm in the winter, and enjoy impressively low utility costs.
The home has been meticulously maintained and improved:
Roof replaced in 2016
Chimney relined for the wood-burning parlor stove in 2023
Exterior freshly repainted in August 2025
New insulated garage doors installed in 2023
The former two-car garage has been converted into a heated studio space, offering flexible options for a workshop, creative studio, home office, or additional living area. An additional carport provides convenient covered parking.
All appliances will remain with the home (excluding the basement freezer), making this truly move-in ready.
Backing up to KSU property and just a 15–20 minute walk to downtown Kent’s shopping, dining, and the Portage Hike and Bike Trail network, this home combines quiet surroundings with easy access to everything the community has to offer.
This is a rare opportunity to own a well-maintained, energy-efficient home full of character in one of Kent’s most desirable and convenient locations.
