The land

Two parcels, about 97,000 square feet.

The house stands on a one-acre lot. A second parcel of 1.2 acres adjoins it, with frontage on the same road. Together the county records them at 2.2 acres and about 97,000 square feet.

A mapped stream crosses the lower ground of the second parcel. Soils across almost all of the site are Tokul gravelly loam on gentle slopes, and the land is not in a FEMA flood zone and has no mapped wetlands.

Acreage is taken from county assessment records. Neither parcel has been surveyed.

The house

One level, 1,200 square feet, built in 1950.

A single-storey ranch, all on one level, with a 480 square foot attached garage. The seller reports no interior steps.

There are four rooms with closets, per the seller. The county assessor's record for this home was last updated in 2004 and still shows two bedrooms; the additional rooms were added since. One full bath and a half bath, also per the seller.

Inside, original hardwood runs through the rooms, the living room has a knotty-pine wall and a sliding door out to the deck, and there is a masonry fireplace with a brick chimney.

The seller reports a new bathroom, new windows, a new roof, added insulation, fresh paint, foundation work and concrete and stone work. Where documentation exists, we will hand it over.

The living room: a knotty-pine panelled wall, hardwood floor, a ceiling fan and a sliding glass door opening onto the deck. — The living room, with knotty pine and a slider to the deck.

The shop and the ground

A shop with two overhead doors, and ground to go with it.

A detached, gable-roofed shop with two large overhead doors and vertical siding, with a wood shed and stacked firewood alongside it. The county records two outbuildings on the parcel, including a general-purpose wood-pole-frame building.

In front of the attached garage there is a broad poured-concrete apron, with additional gravel parking beside it. The seller reports parking for at least eight vehicles.

Beyond that: fenced garden beds, a small timber playhouse, fruit trees and a lawn that runs up to the tree line.

The shop is an outbuilding. Permit records for it have not been obtained and no representation is made about them.

The evenings

The tree line comes right up behind the deck.

The back of the house opens onto a deck with lights strung overhead, and conifers standing close behind it. There is a gravel seating area, a kitchen garden, and room at the top of the lawn for the fruit trees and a bench.

The stream crosses the lower parcel, a short walk from the house.

Straight up

What is on the record, and what the seller reports

Seller-reported items are the seller's account. They are not independently verified, and no representation is made that any work was permitted.

Diligence

The questions we expect, and where we stand

We have not obtained determinations for these. Rather than leave them to be discovered during diligence, here they are.

Septic capacity and condition

The property is on a private well and on-site septic, and no public water or sewer district reaches it. We do not hold the septic record, and we make no claim about the system's capacity or condition. County records carry a damaged-septic land flag on the vacant parcel, which is shared by most neighbouring parcels. Your inspector should verify.

Well yield and water quality

No well report or water test is in hand. Buyers should test.

Lot status of the second parcel

The county's own records return the lot status as unconfirmed for both parcels. We are offering the second parcel as additional land and we make no representation about its separate buildability. Buyers should ask Snohomish County Planning and Development Services directly.

Stream buffer on the lower parcel

A mapped stream crosses the lower parcel. The county's critical-area layers do not currently flag the channel, and no buffer determination has been made.

Permits and documentation for the improvements

Permit history has not been retrieved and is not represented. The seller's documentation is available on request.

Taxes

Billed tax amounts have not been obtained. The two parcels sit in different tax code areas and the reason is not yet explained.

School boundaries and emergency services

Boundaries have not been confirmed in writing, and none is named here. Buyers should verify against their own requirements.

Questions

Straight answers

Is it still available?

Yes, as of 29 September 2026. Call or text and we will tell you the position that day.

How many bedrooms?

Four rooms with closets, per the seller. The county assessor's record was last updated in 2004 and still shows two; the additional rooms came later.

Why $665,000?

It is the seller's asking price, and no appraisal supports it. For context, homes built in the surrounding county since 2022 have been selling at a median around $790,000, so this sits toward the entry of that market rather than the top of it.

Is it on public water and sewer?

Neither. Private well and on-site septic. Every home on this road is the same, and no public district reaches the property.

Are there HOA dues?

None on record.

Do you work with agents?

Yes. Agents and brokers are welcome to bring buyers. Contact us directly to arrange access.

Can I see it, and how quickly?

Call or text, or send the form. We will arrange a viewing around your schedule.
