701 9th Avenue South 707

Most homes this close to downtown Kirkland make you give up space. This one doesn't. 2,392 square feet on two floors, with all three bedrooms and both full baths together upstairs. Closets are stacked from the garage to the bedroom level so a private elevator can be added whenever you want one; a neighbor has already done it. The main level has high ceilings, hardwood floors, two gas fireplaces, a kitchen with a Thermador gas cooktop, and a family room off the kitchen that opens to the deck. Bedrooms are large, the primary closet is real closet space, there is storage throughout, and the attached garage fits four cars with room left over. Nothing to do when you move in: fresh paint, new carpet, central A/C, and a clean pre-listing inspection already on file. Concrete and steel construction, so it is quiet and built to last. The HOA handles the outside, including siding, roof, paint, landscaping, and window cleaning. Eight homes, all owner-occupied, no rentals, healthy reserves, no special assessments. Walk to Metropolitan Market, Starbucks, CVS, and dinner at BiBi or Sarducci's. Marina Park, the Cross Kirkland Corridor, and downtown Kirkland are an easy stroll. The upper deck looks out to Lake Washington and the Olympics.
