About this home
Architectural gem nestled in the woods of Lake Whatcom! This 2bed 1bath 1,260sf home was custom built in 1986 with maximum heating and cooling efficiency in mind. Clad in cedar shingles and standing seam "copper" metal roof, this unique home makes you feel like you're living in a Dwell magazine cabin in the woods. With peak-a-boo lake views and over an acre of land, it feels like you're miles away while still being 15mins to downtown. Home features oak flooring, smooth textured walls, wood wrapped windows and a cozy freestanding fireplace. Abundant storage and character throughout. Small nautical hints and flare found purposely in the design. Truly a one of a kind, well cared for home. Access to hiking trails right out your front door!
Custom built one story home nestled on a 1 acre wooded lot across from Lake Whatcom. Unique floorplan with spacious living areas. Galley style kitchen. Detached shed/shop.
