On the shores of Lake Whatcom, this custom 4-bedroom waterfront home offers a rare blend of space, privacy, and refined lake living. This is the waterfront home you’ve been looking for. Picture this: morning light stretching across the water as you step onto your deck. Evenings slow down with open skies and quiet views in every direction, plus an amazing moonrise view. The lake becomes part of your daily rhythm. Tigerwood Decks on each level extend the living space outdoors and create seamless indoor-outdoor flow, all centered around the lake. Inside, the home is bright and open, with picture windows that frame the water and bring in natural light throughout. The layout is designed for both connection and privacy. The chef’s kitchen is a natural place for friends to gather. The primary suite feels like its own retreat, offering a private deck to sip coffee from, and a secluded seating area or office that adds flexibility and calm. The lower level functions as a perfect MIL suite and/or creates a comfortable space for guests or extended living and includes 2br, 1ba, living room, kitchenette, and lower deck access + outdoor shower. With 3,555 of meticulously maintained square feet, a 2-car garage, additional parking area and access to trails, golf, and marina, this home offers a complete Lake Whatcom lifestyle with a custom feel throughout.
