This week’s featured new home is within shouting distance of the Cascade mountain range. The rambler has three bedrooms and two bathrooms, and sits on a one-third acre lot in the Big Bend subdivision near Gold Bar.
The home is close to a community park, a sports court and three private beaches on the Skykomish River that are open to fishing and swimming.
Served by a septic system, community water, electric in-wall heat and Category V wiring, the home also benefits from natural landscaping that includes native sword ferns and mature evergreen trees.
Exterior amenities include shingled gables, an architectural composition roof, a crushed gravel driveway and a brushed-concrete sidewalk.
Built by A.E. Goetz LLC, the open, flowing floor plan features vaulted ceilings, solid cherry paneled cabinets and millwork, cherry laminated flooring, upgraded carpeting and a stainless steel appliance package.
Entrance is gained via a front door with leaded glass inset to an oversized great room. Providing functionality and versatility, the area will likely become the nerve center of the home. Features include an alabaster chandelier that brightens the dining area, a paddle fan with three-way directional lighting, laminate flooring, large windows with wood sills and sliding glass doors that open to a brushed-concrete patio and a large back yard.
Nearby is a kitchen that includes custom cabinets, faux granite laminate countertops, a breakfast bar, a pantry closet, a plant shelf, a two-compartment composite sink, a smooth-top range, a built-in microwave and a dishwasher.
Also nearby is a utility room has overhead cabinets and a ventilated-wire storage shelf. An access door opens to a completely finished, two-car attached garage enclosed by a single door with an electric opener.
A short hallway leads to the bedroom wing of the home. Linen and storage closets are positioned to left and right.
The master suite is oriented toward the rear of the home to provide additional privacy.
A generous sleeping area benefits from a paddle fan with directional lights.
Completing the suite are a walk-in wardrobe closet and a full bath.
Bathroom appointments include an L-shaped countertop with a single vanity, complementary vinyl flooring, a linen closet, a frosted-glass window and a shower/tub combination with a fiberglass shell.
The two additional bedrooms have standard closets. A single door encloses one closet and the other has double bi-folds. Both bedrooms have alabaster light fixtures, and phone and cable jacks.
The full bathroom, which is positioned at the end of the hall, has a single vanity topped with laminate and a cherry backsplash, matching vinyl flooring, an alabaster light fixture and a shower/tub combination with a fiberglass shell and a curved shower rod.
