A four-bedroom, 2.5-bath Craftsman two-story northeast of Monroe is our featured resale home this week. It was built in 2004 and is located within the Estates at Hidden Creek gated subdivision. The subdivision includes a communal covered picnic area, playground, and hiking trails.
The back of the home faces views of Mount Pilchuck and the Cascade mountains and foothills.
At the front entry, a formal dining room and small living room are positioned to the immediate right and left, respectively, of an oak-floored foyer. Both rooms are finished with a coffered ceiling, pale neutral carpeting, wainscoting, and gridded windows overlooking the front yard.
Straight ahead from the foyer, a short, wide hall leads to a great-room at the back of the house. It has an exposed beam ceiling and includes an island-design kitchen, informal dining area and family room.
Kitchen highlights are oak flooring, maple cabinets, black granite slab countertops, black appliances, and a window above the sink, overlooking a side yard and the view.
A butler’s pantry is positioned between the kitchen and the formal dining room.
The informal dining area is in a nook with multiple view windows and includes a glass door that opens to a large aggregate patio and a completely fenced back yard.
The patio includes a fire pit.
A partial wall separates the family room from the kitchen. Features of the family room include a 20-foot ceiling, pale neutral carpeting, nine view windows, and a gas fireplace with stone hearth and surround. A television alcove is positioned above the fireplace.
A den or home office and a half bathroom complete the entry level. The den is finished with a double-door entry, wainscoting, crown molding and a large view window. Features of the half bath include oak flooring and a single vanity with granite top.
The upper level is accessed via a dramatic staircase in the great-room that splits off into two directions, both accessing a catwalk that overlooks the family room. The upstairs area includes a bedroom suite and three bedrooms, plus a bonus room, laundry room and full bathroom.
Highlights of the suite include a double-door entry, vaulted cathedral ceiling, large window overlooking the front yard, and a five-piece bathroom. The bathroom has tile flooring, a deep oval soaker tub encased in tile, and a double-length shower with tile surround.
The home has air conditioning and central vacuum.
