Fully renovated and move-in ready, this 2-bedroom, 2-bath Birch Bay home pairs water views with an easy-care coastal lifestyle. Thoughtfully updated throughout, the bright interior features a modern kitchen with white shaker cabinetry, quartz countertops, and generous pantry storage; luxury vinyl plank flooring; energy-efficient LED lighting; fresh interior and exterior paint; and a newer mini-split for year-round heating and cooling. Improvements include an added 3/4 bath, adding valuable flexibility to this efficient 790-sq-ft home. Step onto the back deck, take in the water views, and enjoy a mostly fenced 7,408-sq-ft yard with mature fruit trees and space to garden, relax, or entertain. An attached storage room keeps bikes, beach gear, and tools close at hand, while off-street parking, city water and sewer, and a low annual HOA add everyday convenience. Here, life can move at a different pace: morning coffee with a view, afternoons exploring the shoreline, and evenings unwinding at home. Just minutes from Birch Bay beaches, Birch Bay State Park, walking trails, Semiahmoo Resort and Golf Course, and year-round recreation, this location makes it easy to enjoy the best of coastal Whatcom County. An inviting coastal retreat with modern comforts, outdoor space, and the freedom of a detached home—all close to the bay. Owner-financing option available to qualified buyers. Come experience the home, the views, and the Birch Bay lifestyle.
