The last remaining homes in Firwood, a new home community in Bothell, await your viewing.
Of the many new home sites available for purchase in this area, the homes at Firwood stand out for a number of reasons. The first is the location, set in a small community with a number of greenbelt lots. Walking through the model home as well as several available floorplans, I was struck at once by the natural beauty of the area. Many of the homes have the advantage of a natural growth protected area just beyond their back lots, which promotes privacy as well as a sense of open space.
Another stand out is the quality construction of the homes, which range from over 2,300 to almost 2,900 square feet and feature two or three car garages. Slab granite countertops are the standard in the spacious kitchens, and elegant hardwood flooring is used in the entryway and throughout the nook and kitchen. A rare treat in the kitchen is the use of under cabinet lighting, which lends a sophisticated level of detail, and upgraded beech cabinetry with crown moldings above and below make these homes stand out once again. Stainless steel appliances complete the upscale look of the kitchens.
Elegant details continue throughout the home. Master suites are sumptuous, with full 5-piece master bath with glass shower enclosure and beech wood vanity. The inviting family rooms offer a clean burning gas log fireplace with electronic ignition, and designer accent lighting is used in select areas to enhance the ambience of the homes.
Built by Hillcrest Construction Company, well known in this area for their workmanship and value, homes at Firwood offer such exterior features as Northwest Craftsman designs featuring durable James Hardie Siding with architectural accents and 30-year composition roofing. Extensive rock detailing adds elegant details, and for the new homeowner, the front, back and side yards are all professionally landscaped. It all adds up to extraordinary street appeal on these homes, which are extremely well priced. Visit the homes at Firwood soon, and pick your favorite plan.
