The Story Behind
Light-Filled Trellis Park Residence with Territorial Views
From the moment you arrive, the home at 12102 NE 174th Street presents itself with quiet confidence — freshly painted horizontal siding and shingle-style accents framed by manicured hedges and a clean paved driveway that signals the care invested throughout. The two-car attached garage and covered entryway set a welcoming tone, but it is the interior that truly reveals the home's character.
Step through the front door into a bright, warm-toned entryway anchored by wood flooring and crisp white walls. A tufted bench and framed botanical prints offer an immediate sense of considered style — a preview of the cohesive design language that carries through every room. The open-concept main level unfolds naturally, drawing the eye from the chef's kitchen across the great room and toward the territorial tree views beyond.
The kitchen is undeniably the home's social and culinary heart. Dark wood cabinetry rises to meet the ceiling, providing abundant storage without sacrificing sophistication. A generous central island topped in pale quartz accommodates both prep work and casual seating, illuminated by pendant lights that cast a warm, focused glow. Stainless steel appliances — including a statement range hood — speak to serious culinary intention, while a tiled backsplash adds visual texture against the clean countertop lines. The space opens seamlessly into the dining area, where a large sliding glass door connects indoor life to the composite deck beyond.
That deck deserves its own moment of appreciation. Finished in light-toned composite planking with a horizontal-slat railing, it functions as an elegant outdoor room — private, serene, and framed entirely by the lush canopy of Pacific Northwest evergreens. Whether hosting an evening dinner or enjoying a quiet morning coffee, the space offers the kind of effortless indoor-outdoor living that defines the best of Northwestern residential design.
The great room centers on a fireplace with a classic white mantel and neutral-toned surround, flanked by large windows that flood the space with natural light and bring the surrounding greenery inside. Dark hardwood floors ground the room while recessed lighting and a considered furniture arrangement make it equally suited to lively entertaining or quiet evenings in.
Upstairs, the primary suite arrives through French doors — a detail that immediately elevates the sense of arrival. The ensuite bathroom is a study in calm luxury: dual vanities with dark stone countertops, a glass-enclosed shower framed in grid-patterned dark tile, and a corner soaking tub positioned beneath a window to capture natural light. A spacious walk-in closet completes the suite. Two secondary bedrooms, a shared full bath, a dedicated laundry room, and two flexible loft or bonus spaces round out the upper floor with practical generosity.
Below, the finished daylight basement introduces an entirely different dimension of the home. An oversized guest room with closet, a full bathroom, and a gracious bonus room offer the kind of privacy and independence that multigenerational households require — all with walk-out access to the covered patio and fully fenced backyard below the deck.
Bothell, Washington occupies a distinctive position in the greater Seattle metropolitan landscape — a city that has evolved from its timber and agricultural roots into one of the Eastside's most livable and sought-after communities, without sacrificing the natural character that defines the Pacific Northwest. Situated at the confluence of the Sammamish River and North Creek, and straddling the border of King and Snohomish counties, Bothell offers residents meaningful proximity to major employment centers alongside a genuine sense of neighborhood identity.
Trellis Park, the community in which this residence is situated, reflects the kind of planned residential development that has made Bothell's newer neighborhoods particularly appealing to discerning buyers. The community features a charming park, playground, and covered picnic area — shared amenities that foster the kind of neighborly connection increasingly rare in suburban environments. Generous guest parking further reflects the community's thoughtful planning.
The home's location places daily life in exceptional balance. Downtown Woodinville — the celebrated wine country destination just minutes to the south — offers an acclaimed concentration of tasting rooms, restaurants, and artisan producers that rivals destinations many times its size. The Woodinville Wine Country district is home to over 130 wineries and tasting rooms, drawing visitors from across the region while remaining an authentic neighborhood amenity for local residents.
Totem Lake, the rapidly redeveloping mixed-use district in Kirkland, is within easy reach and continues to attract new dining, retail, and fitness concepts. Kirkland itself — with its waterfront parks, independent restaurants, and arts community along the shores of Lake Washington — is a short drive south, offering a vibrant urban complement to Bothell's more residential character.
For commuters and travelers alike, the home's connectivity is a genuine asset. Direct access to both SR-522 and Interstate 405 places Seattle, Bellevue, and the broader Eastside technology corridor within practical daily reach. The concentration of major employers in Redmond, Kirkland, and Bellevue and Bothell — including global technology companies and the robust, growing biotech industry— makes this corridor one of the most strategically located in the metropolitan area.
Families with school-age children will appreciate enrollment in the Northshore School District, consistently recognized as one of the highest-performing districts in Washington State. The district serves communities across Bothell, Kenmore, and Woodinville has earned a reputation for academic rigor, strong extracurricular programming, and community engagement.
The natural environment surrounding Bothell remains one of its most compelling attributes. The Burke-Gilman Trail — one of the most celebrated multi-use recreational trails in the Pacific Northwest — passes through the area, connecting cyclists, runners, and walkers to a regional network that extends from Seattle to Redmond and beyond. North Creek Trail, Blyth Park, and the Sammamish River Trail system further enrich the outdoor recreation available to residents, offering everything from leisurely walks to serious athletic training within a few minutes of home.
This is a place where the rhythms of daily life are genuinely well-supported — where a Saturday morning might move from a trail run through the evergreens to an afternoon of wine tasting, and evenings find their way to a neighborhood dinner or a gathering on the deck above the trees.
