Our featured home this week is a two-bedroom, 2.5-bath unit in the Belmonte Heights development in Everett. It overlooks a marina, the Snohomish river and valley, and the Cascade Mountains. When completed, the development will include a neighborhood park with picnic tables and children’s play area, a sport court and walking trails.

The Craftsman-style townhome includes three levels, starting with a tandem two-car garage enclosed by a single door with privacy glass and wired for an electric opener.

Stairs lead upward to the main living level, which consists of a great-room combining formal living and dining rooms, the kitchen and a powder room. Another flight of stairs ascends to the home’s sleeping level, where an oversized master suite, spare bedroom served by a full bath and utility closet complete the home.

The main floor has white-painted millwork that includes chair railing, shadowboxing and crown molding. Other features include friese carpeting, radius corners and wood wrapped windows.

The kitchen has ceramic tile countertops and breakfast bar, birch paneled cabinets with crown molding, black and stainless steel appliances, a 9-foot ceiling and recessed lighting. A storefront door opens to an aggregate patio and the back yard.

The powder room is completed with a space-saving pocket door, pedestal sink, vinyl flooring and square-shaped privacy window.

An oversized, arched opening invites occupants into the great-room area. The dining room is highlighted by a coffered ceiling with crown molding.

The formal living room includes a gas log-burning fireplace trimmed with ceramic tile and a wood surround. An entertainment alcove is positioned above and could accommodate a plasma television. The room is completed with a storefront door that opens to a balcony-style deck that overlooks the street.

The third-level master suite has a spacious bedroom with large picture window framing the view to the east. Master bath features include a double vanity and a freestanding shower.
