I am marketing a great home for sale in the NE Mill Creek/SE Everett area. This contemporary bi-level home on a near 1/4 acre lot surprises!

Updated tastefully with new countertops, newer appliances, thoughtful cabinetry, two updated baths (including a split dual vanity with a 2nd sink in the master bedroom). There are two large wood burning fireplaces. The main level has a large living room, dining area and kitchen, three bedrooms and a full bathroom (plus the extra vanity!) The lower level has a huge family room, large mechanical/utility/storage room, nicely updated 3/4 bath and laundry nook.

The home is situated on a large corner lot, with a fully fenced yard. The owner has carefully maintained pesticide free gardening areas, and there are outbuildings, a large back deck & new concrete parking pad for 5+ cars, plus a garage that might fit 2 cars tandem if the shop counters were removed.

The seller has remodeled for over a year and this home is ready for its new family! I am holding a Broker and Public Open House on Thursday, 11 am to 2 pm at 13230 54th Avenue SE / Everett. Stop by and say hi! Free “gallon of gas” to the first 10 agents who complete my market survey!

To take advantage of the $8,000 tax credit for new buyers, and the $6,500 tax credit for move up buyers, you MUST be under contract to purchase no later than April 30, 2010. So you have only two weeks to find a home and get under contract.

You have until July 1st to close.

Call me at 206.686.HOME (4663) to discuss further.

There are lots of Top 10 lists for home buyers, but they can’t be repeated enough.

Here’s one from yesterday’s Realty Times

Wendy goes on record for being a huge fan of Bambu Organic Salon in the Wallingford neighborhood of Seattle. Her real estate office and the salon used to be next door to each other but both businesses relocated in 2009.

Wendy tells why she began to have her hair color foiled and then talks about the benefits of training your hair to need less washing (use less water, less product, hair color lasts longer, and SAVE TIME).
