Very seldom found is a West-facing, level, shy one acre with unobstructed views that most only dream about with sweeping views across Semiahmoo Bay to the San Juan Islands, and sunsets that never grow old. This 3 bedroom, 2 bath home was designed to keep the view front and center, with an open kitchen, dining, and living room framed by expansive windows and anchored by a timeless stone fireplace. Two doors lead seamlessly to a covered patio overlooking the spacious yard, creating an easy indoor-outdoor flow for summer evenings and year-round enjoyment. The main level also offers two comfortable bedrooms and a full bath, ideal for guests or main floor living flexibility. Wake to water views in the primary suite with a private deck, and unwind in the ensuite featuring double sinks, a walk-in glass shower, and a freestanding soaking tub positioned beside a large window that brings the bay right into the room. Outside, the spacious lot offers room to entertain complete with a firepit for gathering under the stars. A gated entry, and long driveway, plus a detached two-car garage adds function to beauty. DON'T LET THIS OPPORTUNITY SLIP BY!
