A distinctive South Lake Whatcom retreat with sweeping lake & mountain views, 5 private acres, & access to a nearby shared waterfront parcel. Walls of windows and French doors frame the view across Lake Whatcom to forested shoreline and mountains, while the expansive deck creates a natural extension of the living space. Inside, the home combines warm woodwork with thoughtful, artistic details. The generous kitchen and dining area feature cherry cabinetry, labradorite counters, travertine floors, stainless appliances, a large island, & abundant workspace. The living room includes a gas fireplace and opens directly to the view deck. The main-floor primary suite offers built-in bookshelves, a walk-in closet, and a fully renovated bath with dual vanities, a dramatic tiled shower, deep stone soaking tub, and full-spectrum infrared sauna. Upstairs are two bedrooms with a Jack-and-Jill half bath. One includes a wraparound built-in desk, an imaginative enclosed loft bed, and a Murphy bed below. The acreage has usable outdoor space & natural privacy. Landscaped grounds include established gardens, fruit and nut trees, a pond, fire pit, open field & two connected fenced yards surrounding the home. Approximately 3acres remain naturally wooded and largely maintenance-free, creating a secluded buffer and preserving a thriving pocket of native habitat. A trail through the woods leads to a seasonal creek & 6' waterfall. Don't miss the detached studio for your creative desires!
