Located in desirable Bay Crest, just minutes from the beaches and charm of Birch Bay, this beautifully remodeled home offers the perfect blend of coastal lifestyle and turnkey comfort. Birch Bay has been a beloved vacation destination for more than a century—known for miles of pristine shoreline, endless water activities, vibrant small-town charm, and some of the most breathtaking sunsets in the Northwest. Built in 2004, this 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath, 1,934 sq ft home has been fully updated from top to bottom. The stunning new kitchen anchors the home, complemented by a new fireplace, fresh interior paint, modern lighting, all-new LVP flooring, updated trim, and custom window treatments. Highly rated Nevaska slab granite is featured throughout the home, with the exception of the butcher-block laundry room surface. The primary suite has been completely reimagined with a spa-like en suite featuring a soaking tub, dual vanities, and a beautifully tiled custom shower. A desirable split-bedroom floor plan provides privacy, while the front den/home office—accessed through elegant glass French doors—adds flexibility for today’s lifestyle. Outside, enjoy a partially fenced yard, spacious patio, fresh exterior paint, and thoughtfully designed landscape beds framed with 6x6 borders. Impeccably updated and exceptionally maintained, this is one of the nicest homes in the neighborhood—a true must-see. .
