The setting is hard to beat, with towering evergreens, a quiet forest across the street, and ample parking with a large, easy driveway rarely found in the neighborhood. Main floor interior features include vaulted ceilings, walls of windows, and a spacious layout filled with natural light. The updated kitchen offers stainless appliances, abundant cabinetry, and an open flow into the main living areas. The large composite wrap-around deck creates an inviting outdoor space to relax, entertain, or enjoy the peaceful surroundings and lake views. On the main floor, there's a primary bedroom with two closets and deck access, plus an additional bedroom and updated bathroom with a garden tub. Downstairs offers a huge flex space that could function as a second living area, oversized bedroom, guest space, office, exercise or hobby room, complete with walk-in closet, full bathroom, wood stove, laundry room and yard access. A partially enclosed yard area creates a great space for pets, gardening, or simply enjoying the outdoors. Close to the AM/PM beaches, this is a great opportunity to enjoy access to pools, a fitness center, golf course, parks, playgrounds, miles of trails, pickleball, basketball courts, dog parks, Lake Whatcom and more while adding your own finishing touches over time.
