Historic charm meets modern updates in this “storybook” home, extensively remodeled in 2021. Set on desirable Shore Avenue at the Everett/Mukilteo border, the property sits just across from the bluff in a quiet, sought-after neighborhood. The standout feature is the exceptional, large, level backyard. Fully fenced and park-like, it offers rare privacy. Surrounded by lush landscaping and fruit trees, the expansive yard and deck create endless possibilities for outdoor living, entertaining, and gardening. There's also potential for a detached accessory dwelling unit (DADU), plus abundant parking, including space for an RV. Inside, the thoughtfully designed 1,700-square-foot floor plan makes the most of every inch. The main level features formal living and dining rooms, a spacious kitchen with breakfast nook, a primary suite, and a utility room. The upper level offers a large bedroom, a family room (or a potential 3rd bedroom) with peekaboo views of Puget Sound and skylights for viewing the stars. A walkout basement provides extra storage. Located just minutes from Old Town Mukilteo, you'll enjoy easy access to local restaurants, the ferry to Whidbey Island, a dog park, and scenic trails at Japanese Gulch. Plans are underway to reopen Edgewater Park, adding even more appeal to the area. Awarded the Monte Cristo Award in 2024, this home blends character, comfort, and opportunity.
