Two Japanese maples, one green and one turning orange, anchor a front garden of hydrangeas and black-eyed Susans that keeps color coming through summer, with a level lawn out front for evenings outside. The covered entry and mature evergreen backdrop round out the curb appeal in this established neighborhood served by the Everett School District.
A Japanese maple and towering evergreens frame this tri-level home on a 13,068 square foot lot in Bothell's Mays Pond neighborhood, where terraced planting beds step up along a block retaining wall toward the covered entry. The exposed aggregate driveway leads to an attached two car garage with extra storage, and path lighting along the beds adds a warm welcome after dark.
A rock waterfall and pond bubbles beside the front walk, its soft sound setting a peaceful tone before you reach the covered entry. The front door's fanlight window and full height sidelight draw daylight into the foyer, and the porch roof keeps you dry while you find your keys.
Fresh interior paint and laminate plank flooring welcome you inside, where a vaulted ceiling and a pair of glass pendant chandeliers pull your eye straight through to the living room's wall of windows and the greenery beyond.
The kitchen works under a vaulted ceiling with pendant lighting, pairing warm oak cabinetry and white tile counters with a dishwasher and a new gas range, while laminate plank flooring flows in from the foyer. The window over the sink frames the covered patio and backyard greenery, so even cleanup comes with a view.
A new five burner stainless gas range, fueled by natural gas, anchors the cooking wall beneath the range hood, with a corner pantry steps away and windows on two sides brightening prep work. Oak cabinets and drawers flank the range, and the tile counters give you plenty of landing space for hot dishes.
A pass-through window with a serving ledge links the kitchen to the dining room, so dishes travel straight from counter to table and the cook stays in the conversation. Extra cabinetry over the refrigerator, a long run of tile counter, adjustable track lighting, and a doorway to the hall keep this end of the kitchen practical for everyday routines.
The dining room overlooks the sunken living room across a white railing, with the two story brick chimney rising alongside and a window framing backyard trees. A glass chandelier, laminate plank flooring, and the pass-through to the kitchen make it easy to host a dinner party or serve a weeknight meal without missing the conversation below.
From the dining room, the view runs across the railing to the living room's wall of windows and out to the covered patio, so the dining and living areas read as one bright, connected space beneath the living room's vaulted ceiling. The staircase to the three upper level bedrooms rises just off the dining room, keeping the tri-level plan easy to navigate.
A few steps down from the dining room, the living room rises to a vaulted ceiling with a wall of windows topped by transoms, and a sliding glass door opens to the patio, so daylight and garden views fill the room year round. The floor to ceiling brick fireplace, wood burning with glass doors and a raised hearth, is ready for cozy evenings when the rain settles in.
Tiered brick columns climb the full height of the vaulted ceiling around the wood burning fireplace, with a brick mantel shelf, a wraparound raised hearth, and an open cutout above the mantel that borrows light from the dining room. Wall to wall carpet and the short stair up to the dining level make this the natural gathering spot for game nights and holiday evenings.
Exposed beams cross the vaulted ceiling and a lighted soffit runs along the far wall, giving the living room generous scale that still feels warm with fresh paint and wall to wall carpet. A door beside the stairs leads to the lower level family room, so the two living spaces work together for larger gatherings.
The lower level family room brings a second wood burning fireplace, this one brick with a white mantel, and a pair of French doors that open straight onto the patio for easy outdoor living. A wide picture window looks over the covered patio and the fully fenced backyard, making this a natural spot for movie nights, a home office, or a quiet reading corner.
With a French door to the patio on one side and doorways to both the living room and the lower hall on the other, the family room sits at the crossroads of the lower level, flexible enough for a home office, media room, or fitness space. Wall to wall carpet and gas forced air heat keep it comfortable through the winter months.
An updated vanity with a marble look counter, undermount sink, brushed nickel faucet, and round mirror gives the lower level half bath a fresh, modern feel, and the laundry area sits right alongside so the chore stays out of the main living spaces. A frosted window brings in natural light while keeping the room private.
Two wide windows fill the primary bedroom with soft light and views of the Japanese maple and evergreens, while a ceiling fan with light and central air conditioning keep the room comfortable for summer sleeping. Wall to wall carpet and neutral walls make it a calm retreat at the end of the day.
The primary bedroom includes a private three quarter bath just a few steps away, with a second door opening to the upper hall. The ceiling fan overhead and generous proportions leave room for a sitting area or a workout corner.
The primary's three quarter bath pairs an oak vanity with a white tile counter, a tri-view mirrored medicine cabinet, and sconce lighting, with the walk-in shower and toilet set in their own compartment behind a second door for privacy. A sliding glass shower door and an exhaust fan keep the compartment bright and fresh.
A walk-in closet with double sided wire shelving and hanging rods on both walls makes it easy to keep wardrobes organized and seasonal items within reach. Carpet underfoot and a bright, neutral finish keep the space as pleasant as the rest of the upper level.
A window framing a lush evergreen canopy gives this upper level bedroom a treehouse feel, while wall to wall carpet, fresh paint, and a flush mount ceiling light keep it move-in ready.
Evergreen branches fill the window of this upper level bedroom, giving it a calm, private feel, while a flush mount ceiling light and an adjustable accent spotlight let you set the mood for reading or study.
The full hall bath serves the two secondary bedrooms with a tub and shower combination wrapped in a bright white tile-look surround, an oak vanity with a cultured marble top, and an oval mirror beneath a Hollywood-style vanity light.
A dedicated cold food storage room keeps a bulk pantry, canning, and the garden harvest cool, with fully lined walls and ceiling, bright overhead lighting, multiple outlets, and a concrete floor that sweeps clean. An opening leads to additional shelved storage beyond, so seasonal gear and bulk supplies stay organized and out of sight.
Under the covered patio, a small water garden set into the brick planter brings water plants and river rock right to the edge of the seating area, while an arborvitae hedge on one side and raised brick beds of roses, impatiens, and dusty miller frame the view across the lawn. The cedar-framed roof with light-filtering panels keeps the space in use through the Northwest rainy season.
Translucent roof panels on a cedar frame let daylight pour through while shedding rain, so the covered patio works for dinner outdoors in July and a dry cup of coffee in November. Raised brick planters filled with roses and geraniums wrap the patio, and the view runs past the lawn to the greenhouse and storage shed at the back of the lot.
The patio stretches the full width of the living room's two story window wall, so entertaining flows easily between indoors and out, with brick planters of geraniums, salvia, and dusty miller lining the edges. Beyond the cedar posts, the fenced vegetable garden, greenhouse, and shed are a few steps across the lawn.
A cedar-framed covered patio anchors the back of the home, with French doors opening from the lower level family room, copper rain chains that turn a rainy day into a small show, and the brick chimney of the living room fireplace rising above. Brick planters of roses and blue salvia soften the edges, and the greenhouse sits just beyond the far post.
The rear of the home shows off the two story wall of windows that lights the vaulted living room, two chimneys for the two wood burning fireplaces, a composition roof, and the covered patio with its French doors and brick planters. The fenced vegetable garden lies to one side and the covered carport to the other, with the lawn rolling out between them.
From the lawn, the whole backyard lifestyle comes into view: the 12x16 insulated storage shed with electricity, the greenhouse beside it, covered firewood storage, the fenced kitchen garden with raised beds, and the covered patio beyond the brick planters. A mature shade tree ringed with geraniums and a stone border adds a splash of color at the lawn's edge.
A broad, level lawn, kept green by an automatic sprinkler system, sweeps around a mature shade tree set in its own circular planting bed, with raised wooden planter beds on a gravel base to one side and the fenced garden, greenhouse, and shed along the back. The covered carport on its gravel pad runs along the side fence, and the covered patio ties everything back to the house.
Cedar and wire fencing wraps the backyard, keeping the lawn open while planting beds of hydrangeas, black-eyed Susans, and shrubs line the perimeter, and the mature evergreens and deciduous trees beyond give the yard a private, parklike backdrop. Fully fenced and level, it is ready for lawn games, a dog, or a quiet evening under the trees.
The lawn rolls out from the raised planter beds to a second stone-ringed bed with its own tree and a paver patio tucked in the far corner under the branches, so there is room for a game of catch in one direction and a shady retreat in the other. Perimeter beds along the fence line keep color coming from spring bulbs to late summer blooms.
A fenced kitchen garden with a gate protects raised galvanized beds of tomatoes and squash, with paver paths between the beds and the greenhouse's sliding glass door a few steps away for starting seeds early. The 12x16 insulated shed with electricity stands beside it, and a covered lean-to keeps firewood dry for the two wood burning fireplaces.
Inside the 12x16 shed, insulated walls and ceiling, overhead fluorescent lighting, and electrical outlets turn simple storage into a year round workshop, hobby space, or gardener's headquarters. Built-in wood shelving lines two walls, so tools, camping gear, and holiday decorations each have a home.
A paver path runs along the side of the home past galvanized raised beds set in river rock, ready for the next planting, toward the greenhouse with its bank of windows and the covered firewood storage beside it. A mature rhododendron screens the fence line, and the brick chimney rises overhead.
From above, the 13,068 square foot lot reveals how much living happens outdoors: the covered patio and carport flank the house, the lawn opens wide behind, and the garden, greenhouse, and shed fill the back corner, all wrapped in fencing and mature evergreens. The driveway and front walk meet the quiet cul-de-sac at the front.
The home sits at the head of a cul-de-sac with a landscaped center island, backed by a stand of towering evergreens that gives the backyard a greenbelt feel, with the greenhouse, shed, and broad lawn visible behind the house. Low traffic and mature trees define this corner of Mays Pond.
Tall firs and cedars thread through the established streets of Mays Pond, with the home tucked on its cul-de-sac and the valley opening in the distance. Served by the Everett School District, the neighborhood pairs a wooded, settled feel with easy access to Bothell and Mill Creek shopping and commuter routes.
From the covered front entry, the foyer opens to the kitchen with its corner pantry and pass-through to the dining room, which overlooks the sunken living room and its brick fireplace, while the family room with the second fireplace sits alongside, both opening to the covered patio through a slider and French doors. Upstairs, the primary suite with its private bath and walk-in closet joins two more bedrooms and the full hall bath, and the laundry and powder bath sit steps from the attached two-car garage.
The living room (19'6" x 13'6") and family room (20'0" x 13'6") each anchor one end of the covered patio, the kitchen (15'0" x 11'0") and dining room (11'6" x 10'6") share the entry level with the foyer, and the laundry and powder bath sit together beside the attached two-car garage. On the upper level, the primary bedroom (11'0" x 14'9") includes a walk-in closet and a two-part private bath, with two additional bedrooms (11'3" x 13'6" and 10'6" x 13'6") sharing the full hall bath.
