Welcome to the northern stretch of Bothell, Washington—a charming blend of suburban tranquility, historic character, and commuter convenience. Nestled within the Snohomish Co section of the city, this location offers lower taxes, larger lots, and easy access to Bothell’s quaint downtown, all within the prestigious Northshore School District, consistently rated 8/10 for academic performance.

But it’s not just about location. This one-of-a-kind, split-level home built in 1963 was transformed from average to outstanding by Jim, a decorated Master Sergeant and former Green Beret with 27 years of service, and his wife Kim. Now a commerical new construction superintendent, Jim brought military-level precision, an eye for detail, and a drive for excellence to every inch of this remodel.

A Home Reimagined

Spanning 2,010 sq ft, with 4 bedrooms and 2.75 bathrooms, this home sits on a .28-acre lot in a serene, established neighborhood. Two inviting living spaces, each with cozy gas fireplaces, offer room for relaxation and connection. Step outside to a covered Bamboo composite deck that feels like an outdoor living room—bug and fire resistant and perfect for year-round enjoyment.

Functionality with Flair

Let’s talk details. The first impression is unforgettable—a 14-foot custom Douglas fir pivot door with frosted glass and a sleek stainless steel pull, replacing the outdated 1960s gold-glass entry. Walk in and experience rich walnut engineered hardwoods, herringbone-patterned tile in the kitchen, and modern design that somehow feels timeless.

Every surface has been touched. Quartz countertops, soft-close cabinetry, a pot filler, and high-end appliances (including a smart fridge) elevate the kitchen into a space that balances luxury with utility.

Bathrooms? Stunning. Custom tilework, teak shower flooring, and thoughtful lighting throughout make daily routines feel indulgent.

Designed for Real Life

Jim’s focus on functionality shines in the primary suite’s custom walk-in closet—complete with shoe racks, soft-close drawers, a vanity with dimmable lighting, and even toe-kick foot lights. Outside, Rainbird irrigation, a fire pit, and low-maintenance Shou Sugi Ban cedar & cement planked siding combine form and function with style.

The garage workshop is a dream for any hobbyist, equipped with 220-amp power, heat, water supply, new composite roof, and space to build or tinker to your heart’s content.

Peace of Mind Upgrades

This home is not just beautiful—it’s built to last:

  • All new electrical and plumbing

  • Tankless hot water heater

  • Thermal ceiling inset Heat Pump/Cooling Units
  • Powder-coated handrails with stainless cables

  • Bug and fire-resistant composite decking

  • 50-year metal roof (installed by the prior owner)

  • Cedar soffits for long-term durability

The Perfect Blend

This home truly has it all—location, design, comfort, and craftsmanship. It’s the ideal blend of military-grade execution and modern aesthetic sensibility, brought to life by someone who understands both structure and style.  Because when you ask a meticulous Master Sergeant to remodel a home fit for royalty—you get this.
