    Filtered lake whatcom viewsUpdated kitchenWalk-in closetHuge flex spaceLarge composite wrap-around deckWalls of windowsWood stove
    Tucked along a quiet one-way street in Sudden Valley with homes only on one side, this custom cedar home offers privacy, natural beauty, level access, and filtered Lake Whatcom views. The setting is hard to beat, with towering evergreens, a quiet forest across the street, and ample parking with a large, easy driveway rarely found in the neighborhood. Main floor interior features include vaulted ceilings, walls of windows, and a spacious layout filled with natural light. The updated kitchen offers stainless appliances, abundant cabinetry, and an open flow into the main living areas. The large composite wrap-around deck creates an inviting outdoor space to relax, entertain, or enjoy the peaceful surroundings and lake views. On the main floor, there's a primary bedroom with two closets and deck access, plus an additional bedroom and updated bathroom with a garden tub. Downstairs offers a huge flex space that could function as a second living area, oversized bedroom, guest space, office, exercise or hobby room, complete with walk-in closet, full bathroom, wood stove, laundry room and yard access. A partially enclosed yard area creates a great space for pets, gardening, or simply enjoying the outdoors. Close to the AM/PM beaches, this is a great opportunity to enjoy access to pools, a fitness center, golf course, parks, playgrounds, miles of trails, pickleball, basketball courts, dog parks, Lake Whatcom and more while adding your own finishing touches over time.
