Tucked away in the sought after Birch Bay Village community, this charming cottage style home offers the perfect blend of privacy, character, and convenience. Backing to a peaceful greenbelt, you’ll love the feeling of being surrounded by nature while still enjoying all the benefits of one of Whatcom County’s premier gated waterfront neighborhoods. Inside, warm cedar paneling, clear fir trim, vaulted ceilings, hardwood floors, and a stunning stone fireplace create a cozy retreat that truly feels like a cottage in the woods. The functional layout is complemented by numerous updates completed over the past five years, including new roofs on both the home and shed, upper and lower decks, stainless steel kitchen appliances, flooring, interior doors, lighting, ceiling fans, exterior paint, and more. Outside, enjoy the low maintenance yard, mature landscaping, fire pit, and easy in and out semicircle driveway with ample parking. Whether you’re relaxing on the deck overlooking the greenbelt or entertaining friends, this property offers a unique setting that’s hard to find. Birch Bay Village residents enjoy 24/7 gated security, a marina, private beaches, golf course, swimming pool, clubhouse, parks, sports courts, and a vibrant community atmosphere. If you’ve been searching for a home with character, privacy, and access to incredible amenities, this is one you won’t want to miss.
