Our featured resale home this week is a three-bedroom, 3.5-bath contemporary two-story near Lake Stevens. It was built in 1999 and is on a 1.25-acre lot that is a gardener’s paradise.

There is no lawn to mow; the property is landscaped entirely with flowers, shrubs, paths and patios, and there’s a native growth protection area at the back of the property.

Inside the front door of the house is a foyer with oak flooring. To the immediate left is a den or home office with paned-glass double door entry, light gray plush carpeting, wainscoting, shadowboxing, coffered ceiling, and two tall vertical windows facing the front yard.

A formal living room is nearby, with wainscoting, shadowboxing, coffered ceiling with crown molding, and a gas fireplace with marble tile hearth and surround.

An arched opening separates the formal living room from an adjacent formal dining room. Highlights of the dining room include wainscoting, shadowboxing, coffered ceiling with crown molding, and a large window overlooking the back yard.

A kitchen, informal dining area and family room are at the back of the house. The island-design kitchen has oak flooring, oak cabinets with granite tile countertops, white-on-white appliances, recessed lighting, a work station, and a window above the sink, overlooking the back yard.

Features of the informal dining area include oak flooring and a glass door accessing a composite deck overlooking the back yard.

The family room has sculpted Berber carpeting, a picture window facing the back yard, and a gas fireplace with oak surround.

A laundry room off the family room includes a built-in sink and cabinets, and access to an attached three-car garage.

A half bathroom completes the entry level.

A staircase in the foyer ascends to the upper level, which includes an owners’ suite, two bedrooms and a full bathroom.

The suite has a double-door entry and a gas fireplace with marble surround.

Highlights of the suite’s bathroom include an elongated double vanity topped with tile, a skylight, corner jetted soaker tub encased in tile beneath a picture window facing the back yard, and an oversized shower with fiberglass shell and two shower heads.

A walk-in closet completes the suite.

The house includes an unfinished but heated 342 square-feet room below the entry level, and the property includes a finished, detached two-car garage with three-quarter bathroom.
