About this home

Built in 2024 and tucked into a quiet, non-through street near Lake Whatcom, this beautifully designed home offers the feel and finishes of new construction on nearly half an acre surrounded by green space. With 3,626 square feet, 4 bedrooms and 3 baths, the thoughtful floor plan offers generous living spaces and exceptional flexibility. An elevator provides convenient access from the garage directly to the kitchen. At the heart of the home, the spacious kitchen features custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, a large pantry, two refrigerators, two sinks and a pot filler. Large windows fill the home with natural light and capture the surrounding greenery, while multiple covered decks and patios extend the living spaces outdoors. The generous primary suite includes a private deck, adjoining office and bath with a 6' soaking tub. The lower level offers a private suite with its own sitting room, bath, walk-in closet, kitchenette-style cabinetry, second laundry and exterior access—ideal for guests or extended stays. Additional features include a 22kW whole-home generator, solar panels, tankless water heater, extensive storage, RV or truck parking and a fully fenced yard. Just blocks from Lake Whatcom with nearby trail access for hiking and biking.
