7709 85th Avenue N.E., Marysville

This week’s featured home is a three-bedroom, two-bath two-story with a two-car garage. It is located adjacent to a native growth protection area in the Berrywoods development in Marysville.

The main floor includes a formal living room, kitchen, informal dining nook and an expansive great-room that combines formal dining and family areas.

Upstairs, the home is completed by a bedroom suite, loft bonus room, a laundry room and two additional bedrooms served by a full bathroom.

Steps from the entry, a cozy dining room provides a separate, quiet area perfect for conversations.

The room benefits from three square-shaped privacy windows that provide natural light without allowing observation from the street.

A two-tiered center island, with extended breakfast bar on one side and two-compartment stainless steel sink on the other, highlights the kitchen.

Other features include laminate countertops with complementary vinyl flooring, paneled cabinets, and black-on-black appliances including a smooth-top range and built-in microwave and dishwasher.

Nearby, an extra-large pantry provides space for provisions.

The small informal dining nook is positioned on the opposite side of the kitchen, and has a sliding glass door opening to the back yard.

The main floor is completed by the sprawling great-room, which has two-tone paint, plush carpeting and oversized windows.

On the upper level, the bedroom suite is positioned near a landing at the top of the stairs.

Its super-sized sleeping area provides more than enough room for a sitting or television area. The suite is complemented by an equally large bathroom and walk-in wardrobe closet.

The suite’s bathroom includes a single vanity topped with laminate, matching vinyl flooring, a privacy window and a shower/tub combination with faux white tile fiberglass shell.

The walk-in closet includes ventilated wire storage shelves on two walls.

An upstairs loft or bonus room makes the perfect place for a billiards table, exercise equipment or a home theater.

The two extra bedrooms, each with a walk-in wardrobe closet, are embellished with wall murals featuring a faux Dale Jr. autograph with the required No. 8 in one room, and a Seattle Seahawks football helmet in the other.

Features of the second full bathroom include vinyl flooring, a privacy window and a moon globe light fixture.
