River View Homes in Kent Wa

I held an open house last weekend in the nearby community of Renton. Three hours spent on a nice riverfront property wasn't bad duty. The day was not particularly warm and sunny but I did have about a half dozen visitors during the three-hour open. You never know how many visitors you will have during an open house, but it's great when you're busy greeting and showing the home to prospective buyers. Even if I hadn't had any guests that day I would have enjoyed myself. There is something very comforting about watching a river run past. This was the Cedar River which flows into Lake Washington and eventually into the Puget Sound and Pacific Ocean.

As I watched the river I was thinking of how much value this added to the property. I know this home would have been priced much lower off the river, but what value does it really add? To some people being on the river wouldn't be worth the extra cost. Some people say that you get used to the view and they hardly notice anymore. That wouldn't happen with me, I need something to look at other than the house across the way. I think any view adds value to property and is worth the extra cost. I sure got full value from the river last weekend.

Kent and our surrounding communities offer many opportunities to live on the water. If you would like to see this home or any other water-view property, let me know. I have a full list of peaceful properties to show you.

This home has 3 bedrooms and 1.75 bathrooms and was built in 1946. It enjoys 155 feet of riverfront and has been recently remodeled. The listing price is $375,000.
