Overview

Have you ever dreamed of living on your own private country homestead, but still want to be within walking distance to a vibrant downtown and an excellent rated school? 551 Harris Street is a turnkey micro-farm on nearly a half acre completely fenced with established perennial herb and flower pollinator gardens. There is a secure chick coop and run, everything you need to become a beekeeper, a 16 x 21 metal workshop, 15 foot above ground pool and room to expand your hobbies or home business. This 4 bedroom home in the Historic South End of Kent has a full finished basement (which could be converted into an in-law sweet or apartment for extra income). It is artfully curated with many unique features and modern updates. The kitchen has quartz countertops and the dual fuel Jenn Air range and refrigerator are included as are the newer washer and dryer. The family room has a wood burning stove as well as a gas burning stove for those chilly nights. The patio is an entertainer's delight with a new cedar pergola and custom built outdoor bar/kitchen. This home is the last house on the street and the mature “living fence” not only provides complete privacy and security for children and pets, but also produces baskets upon baskets of Catawba, Concord and Niagara grapes in the late summer. There are also a variety of fruit trees on the property including Honeycrisp Apple, Cherry, Apricot, Plum and last year’s newest addition, Paw Paw trees which will be bearing fruit within the next few seasons. The property consists of three separate lots which makes the property tax well below other properties of this size. The railroad owns the lot to the west as an easement and the city owns the right of way to the rear of the property so no new buildings can be built to infringe on your privacy.
