About this home

A true mid-county retreat showcasing breathtaking, unobstructed Mt. Baker views. Spend summer days lounging beside the stunning 40’ x 16’ in-ground pool with snow-capped peaks as your backdrop, or unwind in a hammock overlooking the peaceful seasonal creek. Set on just shy of two acres, this exceptional property offers the perfect blend of privacy, tranquility, and outdoor living. Inside, the beautifully updated 3-bedroom, 3-bath home features a remodeled kitchen, tastefully renovated bathrooms, new flooring, abundant natural light, and a sprawling deck designed to capture the incredible views. The lower level offers outstanding flexibility with potential for separate living quarters or ADU use, plus ample space for a gym, office, media room, playroom, hobby space, or multigenerational living. Outside, you’ll find room to garden, play, entertain, and enjoy the best of Pacific Northwest living. The setting feels worlds away, yet you’re only 12 minutes from I-5 and Barkley Village, and under 30 minutes to BP. Rarely does a property combine acreage, views, a pool, a creek, and a move-in-ready home in such a convenient location. Experience the perfect balance of country serenity and everyday convenience.
