Our featured home for this week is a three-bedroom, 1.75-bath rambler on a secluded one-acre lot in the Martha Lake area of Lynnwood. It was built in 1948 and underwent a ground-up remodel and addition in 1997.

Every room in the house is finished with natural fir trim and windows.

A solid fir Dutch door at the front entry opens to a great-room incorporating a living room, kitchen and sitting room.

The living room has pale neutral plush carpeting, a vaulted ceiling, two skylights, a gas fireplace with stone hearth and surround, windows overlooking the driveway and front yard, and a sliding glass door that opens to a ground-level deck with built-in bench seating.

Highlights of the island-design kitchen include a vaulted ceiling, oak flooring, custom maple cabinets with laminate countertops, a pantry, and stainless steel appliances.

The island includes a four-burner gas cooktop and a breakfast bar.

An informal dining area off the kitchen has oak flooring, large picture windows with a long window seat, and a sliding glass door accessing a patio and side yard.

The sitting area or family room is on the opposite side of the living room from the kitchen. It has heart pine plank flooring, fir walls and ceiling, and an oversized sliding glass door accessing another deck and the property’s expansive, parklike back yard.

A bedroom suite is positioned off the living room. Features include plush carpeting, a gas fireplace with stone hearth and surround, a walk-in closet and a five-piece bathroom.

The bathroom includes a vaulted ceiling, jetted tub, elongated double vanity topped with laminate, two large skylights, and a shower with fiberglass shell.

A solarium off the bedroom suite is suitable for use as a home office, with a built-in desk and computer work station. It includes a glass door that opens to a partially covered deck with hot tub.

A short hall off the kitchen leads to a combination three-quarter bathroom and laundry room. It has vinyl flooring, an oversized single vanity, and a corner shower with fiberglass shell.

Two more bedrooms complete the home. One includes custom built-in drawers, shelves and cabinets, and a Murphy bed.

The third bedroom includes a double closet with sliding doors.

The home has gas forced air heat and surround sound, and the property includes RV parking and a detached two-car garage with workshop area.
