An updated condominium unit in Mukilteo with panoramic views of Puget Sound and the Olympic Mountains is this week’s resale home of the week. Built in 1979, the two-bedroom, two-bath unit is in View Point Condominiums, a gated development with well-maintained grounds and abundant landscaping.

The 1,444 square-feet condominium is situated on the second floor of a six-unit building. It includes a one-car garage. Additional outside parking is available.

A custom leaded-glass window is a standout feature of the front entry. Within the foyer, ceramic tile flooring extends down a hallway to a bedroom suite. The suite is fitted with two windows with functional plantation shutters and custom laminate closet organizers. Its bathroom has a double vanity topped with cultured granite. A separate room houses the toilet and a large walk-in shower with cultured-marble walls and a glass block wall.

The living room, which extends directly from the foyer, has grass cloth wall coverings, textured carpeting and custom-built cherry cabinetry with concrete tops. Its fireplace has granite tile accents and a cherry mantel. Wood-wrapped view windows overlook Whidbey Island and a sliding glass door opens to the deck.

The view windows continue from the living room into the dining room, which has a contemporary chandelier.

A highlight of the neighboring kitchen is custom cherry cabinets with slide-out shelving, toe-kick drawers and self-closing mechanisms. The cabinetry is topped with granite and has a breakfast bar that seats three. The space also includes under- and over-cabinet lighting with dimmers, a well-proportioned pantry, and contemporary fixtures. Appliances are stainless steel.

The secondary bedroom is located left of the foyer. It includes Berber carpeting, a closet with custom laminate organizers, and a window with plantation shutters.

A vessel sink is a highlight of the guest bath. The space also includes tumbled natural stone walls with a matching chair rail and vanity, and a shower/tub combination.

The home has programmable radiant floor heating. New windows were installed in 2000 and the front door has a newer retractable screen door.

The condominium’s clubhouse has an entertainment room. Outside, meandering paths lead to outdoor gazebos, RV parking and a heated outdoor swimming pool.
