Under Contract! Presenting this stately seven-bedroom, seven-and-a-half-bath Colonial Revival home, nestled on a lush 9,411-square-foot lot in the heart of Kent. Originally built in 1936, the home was masterfully expanded and reimagined by renowned architect Dale Overmyer to offer over 7,000 square feet of space across four levels. The classic Colonial-Revival architecture and lush landscaping sets an elegant tone, while inside, rich hardwood floors and detailed crown moldings speak to the home's timeless character. The entry foyer is flanked by formal living and dining rooms, the latter sharing a double-sided fireplace with the spacious family room. The gourmet kitchen is a chef's dream - featuring a large center island, gas range with venting hood, wine bar, breakfast nook, and an adjoining sitting area that opens to the flagstone terrace. Oversized windows and French doors throughout the main level create exceptional indoor-outdoor flow and bathe the interiors in natural light. A powder room, walk-in pantry, and generous mudroom with built-ins and laundry complete this level. Upstairs, the expansive primary suite offers a sitting room, private balcony with leafy views, a custom-built dressing room with a second set of laundry, and a spa-inspired bath. Two additional bedrooms and two bathrooms (one ensuite), plus attic storage, complete the second floor. The top level features two more bedrooms-one with a large sitting area and ensuite bath-and an additional hall bath. The walk-out lower level provides remarkable flexibility with high ceilings and an expansive footprint. A large recreation room, game room, gym, office, sixth bedroom with full bath, and a two-car garage and abundant storage round out the space. Outdoors, the grounds are professionally landscaped and framed by mature trees, offering unparalleled privacy and serenity. Enjoy multiple seating areas, a covered terrace with fireplace, and ample space for entertaining or relaxation. This home is a rare opportunity to own a beautifully preserved and extensively updated architectural gem in one of Washington's most sought-after neighborhoods.
