A new opportunity has arrived in one of Kirkland’s most convenient neighborhoods.

Located at 12217 NE 68th Place, Kirkland, WA, this spacious split-entry home offers five bedrooms, three bathrooms, flexible living areas, and an expansive 8,000+ square foot lot. Listed at $1,100,000, the property presents an appealing option for buyers who value location, versatility, and the opportunity to add their own improvements over time.

A Convenient South Rose Hill Location

South Rose Hill continues to attract buyers who appreciate its proximity to major Eastside employers, transportation routes, parks, shopping, and dining.

This home is located just minutes from Microsoft and I-405, making it convenient for commuting throughout Kirkland, Redmond, Bellevue, and the greater Eastside. At the same time, its quiet cul-de-sac setting provides a welcome sense of privacy.

Comfortable Main-Level Living

The main level features a comfortable living room centered around a classic brick fireplace. Large windows bring natural light into the space, while the open dining area creates an easy connection between the living room and kitchen.

The kitchen includes a cozy breakfast nook for casual meals, morning coffee, or additional workspace. From the dining room, doors lead directly to the large deck, creating a natural indoor-outdoor flow and a pleasant view of the backyard.

Three bedrooms and two bathrooms are located on the main level. The spacious owner’s suite includes a private bathroom, offering comfort and separation from the home’s additional living areas.

Flexible Lower-Level Space

The lower level provides substantial additional room and flexibility.

A large family room can serve as a recreation area, media room, home office, or secondary gathering space. Two additional bedrooms, a third bathroom, and a dedicated laundry area create excellent separation between the upper and lower levels.

This layout may appeal to buyers seeking space for a multigenerational household, extended family, guests, remote work, or potential ADU-style use. Buyers should independently verify permitted uses and applicable City of Kirkland requirements.

Outdoor Space and Storage

The home is situated on an expansive lot of more than 8,000 square feet. The generous backyard provides room for gardening, recreation, entertaining, or future landscaping ideas.

A large deck overlooks the yard and offers space for outdoor dining, barbecues, or relaxing during the Pacific Northwest’s warmer months.

The property also includes a large two-car garage, providing valuable parking, storage, and project space.

An Opportunity for Buyers with Vision

This is not a fully updated home, but that creates an important part of its appeal.

Buyers can bring their own design ideas, contractor, and improvement plans rather than paying a premium for someone else’s renovation choices. With thoughtful updates and a little elbow grease, the property offers the potential to build equity and create a home tailored to the buyer’s needs.

The property may be a strong fit for an investor, an owner-occupant looking for additional space, or a buyer who recognizes the value of securing a flexible home in a desirable Kirkland location.
