Stop scrolling. This Kirkland Highlands stunner backs to a community pond and greenbelt, and nothing else on the Kirkland market right now pairs a refresh this complete with a setting this protected. A top-to-bottom 2026 refresh delivers new interior and exterior paint, new main-level flooring and plush upstairs carpet, quartz counters with a full slab backsplash, black fixtures and hardware, and new recessed lighting. The floorplan was made for entertaining: a vaulted living room with fireplace, a window-wrapped sitting area, dining that flows to the kitchen and its long breakfast bar, a family room that spills onto the restored deck, even a reading nook at the top of the stairs. Mornings start with coffee while herons and ducks work the pond. Evenings end to the sound of the community fountain under mature firs. This is living in nature with all of Kirkland close at hand: walk to Forbes Creek Park in 4 minutes, be on the Cross Kirkland Corridor trail in 8, and Wednesdays mean the market at Marina Park. All of it on a quiet interior street on a 9,500 sq ft lot in the Lake Washington School District, a quick drive to downtown Kirkland's waterfront restaurants, minutes from The Village at Totem Lake, with quick I-405 access to Google, Microsoft, and everything Eastside. Turn-key homes in this pocket are selling in days, and the ones with a protected setting almost never come up. Don't wait for the next one. There won't be one.
