This is the last in a series taking a look at the most expensive homes sold last year in each region of Snohomish County. Today we’re looking at the south-central Snohomish County including Mountlake Terrace and unincorporated Snohomish County. (Northwest Multiple Listing Area 610.)
It didn’t take long for this house to sell.
“In the first five minutes I had the house listed, I got a phone call and that was the people who bought it,” said Kathleen Davi, the listing agent with RE/MAX Integrity of Issaquah.
Davi hadn’t even had a chance to print the flier for the home in the 8000 block of 228th Street SE in the Woodinville area of south Snohomish County.
It turned out the property was one of the most expensive homes sold in Snohomish County last year, selling for $1.599 million. That makes it the fourth most expensive home sold in the county in 2014, according to the Northwest Multiple Listing Service.
Davi could see why, saying the house and property was stunning.
She actually sold the home twice, first to people who bought it a few years ago. When they were transferred out of the state, they turned to her again.
The 5,300-square-foot home sits on 3.85 acres and includes four en suite bedrooms, three full bathrooms along with two partial bathrooms and two kitchens, a full one and a prep kitchen. The den/library with built-in book cases and, like many rooms in the house, has a large fireplace, Davi said.
“It had a grand feeling without it being stuffy,” Davi said. “It was very warm.”
The property also included a 1,050-square-foot, two-bedroom guest house over a detached three-car garage. But the attraction was the main house with the grand staircase, the craftsman porch and the unique details.
“It’s a very distinctive and very different from other houses you go into even in the same price range,” Davi said.
