A four-bedroom, 2.5-bath Craftsman-style two-story in the Estates at Hidden Creeks gated subdivision east of Snohomish is our featured home today. It was built in 2005 and is on a .68-acre lot with views of Mount Pilchuck and the Cascade foothills.

A double door at the front entry opens to a foyer with wainscoting and hardwood flooring. To the right is a formal living room with plush carpeting, wainscoting, vaulted ceiling, bay window, and a gas fireplace with marble tile hearth and surround.

A formal dining room adjacent to the living room has wainscoting, a high coffered ceiling, and windows overlooking the back yard.

The kitchen, informal dining area and family room are at the back of the house. Highlights of the island-design kitchen include oak flooring, cherry cabinets with granite tile countertops and ceramic tile backsplash, a five-burner gas cooktop, pantry closet, stainless steel appliances, and a large rectangular window above the sink.

The informal dining area has oak flooring, several windows overlooking the back yard, and a glass door accessing an aggregate patio.

Family room features include plush carpeting, a picture window, and a gas fireplace with rock hearth and surround.

A home office is to the left of the foyer and has a French door, plush carpeting, and windows overlooking the view. Steps away is a half bathroom with oak flooring and single vanity topped with marble tile.

A laundry room with built-in sink and cabinets completes the entry level. The room has a door accessing an attached three-car garage, and another door with outside access.

A switchback staircase in the foyer ascends to the upper level, which includes the master suite, three bedrooms and a full bathroom.

The master bedroom has a double-door entry, plush carpeting, coffered ceiling, sitting area with windows on three sides, and a walk-in closet. Master bathroom highlights include tile flooring, a high elongated double vanity topped with ceramic tile, a corner soaker tub with tile surround beneath two windows, and an oversized shower with tile surround.

All three bedrooms have double closets with bifold doors, and the full bathroom has a shower-tub combination.

The house has propane forced-air heat and is air conditioned. The back yard is completely fenced.
