A four-bedroom, two- and one-half bath two-story in the Kackman Vista subdivision north of Arlington is our featured new home this week.
Situated on a one-acre lot with views of the foothills, the home includes a home office or downstairs fifth bedroom and a three-car garage.
Vitals include a propane-fired furnace, central vacuum, a private well and a septic system. Along with other residents in the development, buyers share joint recorded and deeded ownership of 24 acres of open space including Pilchuck Creek frontage for swimming, fishing and recreation.
The home’s foyer is decked with red oak flooring that extends throughout much of the main floor. An angled staircase with bullnose turnout and white spindles adds to the wow factor, along with a stained glass vertical window.
Formal living and dining rooms are positioned to the immediate left. Both are completed with formal wainscoting, chair railing, shadowboxing, and soaring double-coffered ceilings with dual crown molding.
The living room has a gas fireplace trimmed with a marble hearth and border, framed by a formal wood surround with built-in decorator niche positioned above. Three wood-wrapped windows overlook the front yard, and an arched opening — supported by twin columns resting on partial walls — separates the living and dining rooms.
French doors open to the home office on the opposite side of the entry.
Completing the main floor is the kitchen, a family room, powder room, utility room and offset three-car garage.
Kitchen features include a center island topped with slab granite that encases a stainless steel prep sink, hardwood flooring, granite tile countertops and backsplashes, maple paneled cabinets with crown molding, walk-in pantry, wine rack and stainless steel appliances.
French doors open from the informal dining nook to a cedar deck. Steps beyond, the family room includes another gas fireplace, this one with a granite tile hearth and border, and flanked by built-in maple bookcases and storage for electronic components.
The upstairs portion of the home is highlighted by a bedroom suite. French doors open to its expansive sleeping area with a wall of windows framing a territorial view.
The suite’s five-piece bathroom is highlighted by extensive use of ceramic tile, covering the floor, a double vanity, an oversized soaker tub, and a freestanding shower’s pan and surround.
Completing the suite is a large walk-in wardrobe closet with multi-tiered, ventilated wire storage shelves and a window.
