1214 Shady Lakes Drive, Kent, OH 44240

Tucked at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, this inviting residence is a peaceful, low-traffic setting. The lot is easy to maintain and has trees with brilliant oranges in the fall and stunning blossoms in May. The spacious front porch is ideal to enjoy the serene neighborhood, and has been one of our favorite aspects of this house. Inside, south-facing windows allow sunlight to flood the main floor from mid-morning to late afternoon. During the winter months, the wood-burning fireplace creates a warm, welcoming gathering spot in the cozy living room. A flowing open floor plan connects this living room to the kitchen and dining areas - for everyday living and easy entertaining. Upstairs, there are two skylights that provide a beautiful natural light, and a conveniently located laundry area that eliminates trips up and down the stairs. The empty basement is a blank canvas ready for whatever you envision: a home gym, workshop, media room, craft space or play area. Finish it your way and add valuable square footage tailored to your lifestyle. Recent updates include roof and skylights (2021), hot water tank (2025) and furnace & air conditioner (2024). This house is minutes from Kent State University, dining and so many local amenities!
