A four-bedroom, three-bath, contemporary Craftsman-style daylight rambler in Mukilteo is our featured home this week. It was built in 2005 and overlooks Puget Sound, mountain, island and ferry lane views.

Custom tilework, travertine, marble, fossil, and slab granite countertops and floors are used throughout the house.

At the front entry, a solid fir door with leaded glass opens to a spacious foyer. To the immediate right is a formal dining room pale neutral cut pile carpeting, coved ceiling, wainscoting and a curved glass block wall.

A butler’s pantry is positioned off the dining room and has numerous cherry-stained maple cabinets, an ice maker and a dishwasher.

A square-shaped kitchen, informal dining area and family room or living room form a great-room at the back of the house.

Kitchen highlights include a travertine tile floor, custom two-tone maple cabinetry, and stainless steel appliances, including a six-burner gas cooktop.

The informal dining area includes two skylights, a picture window facing the view, and a glass door that opens to a composite deck with clear safety glass railings.

Features of the family or living room include three picture windows, four skylights, and a vaulted cathedral ceiling. A see-through gas fireplace is positioned between the living room and informal dining area.

A laundry room off the kitchen has built-in cabinets and sink, two pantry closets, and a door accessing the home’s attached, extra-deep three-car garage.

To the left of the foyer, there is a den or home office with glass double door entry and view windows, and a hall leading to a half bathroom and the owner’s suite.

Features of the suite include a double-door entry, vaulted cathedral ceiling with two skylights, two large view windows, a French door accessing the deck, and a five-piece bathroom.

The bathroom has 12-inch tile flooring, a deep soaker tub encased in marble tile beneath a view window, and a walk-in tiled shower with glass block wall and three shower heads.

A walk-in closet completes the suite.

A wide switchback staircase in the foyer descends to the lower level, which includes a rec room, three bedrooms, a second laundry room, two three-quarter bathrooms and a media room.
