Property Description
This classic lake front residence occupies a particularly quiet and serene stretch of Lake Samish with sweeping sun drenched views. Three bedrooms and three baths are arranged in a nostalgic floor plan, featuring a sunken living room and original wood cabinetry that have been kept intact. Lake and mountain views extend from nearly every room. From the west facing deck the water is immediate; the dock extends that connection further, offering a practical place to moor a boat or simply step into the water. The setting is close enough to Bellingham for everyday ease yet removed enough to feel like a proper lake house retreat. The property sits on a gentle slope above the shoreline, with terraced lawns and stairs that lead down to a private beach area at the water’s edge. Mature trees frame the house, including a striking western maple, while mature landscaping is on display from the road. On warm days the waterside deck becomes the natural center of the house, large enough for a table and chairs yet still intimate, with clear sightlines across the lake toward the Blanchard foothills. The overall impression is of a lake house that has been maintained rather than overwritten—comfortable, functional, and deliberately tied to its waterfront setting.
