Nestled into a hillside overlooking the breathtaking Strait of Georgia, this warm & inviting home seamlessly blends rustic charm with refined craftsmanship - a modern cabin retreat. From the moment you arrive, the home's unique character is apparent. White-washed shiplap walls, exposed framing, & heavy timber beam work create a cozy yet sophisticated ambiance. A striking floor-to-ceiling stone wood-burning fireplace anchors the heart of the home, while a gorgeous floating staircase built from massive timbers adds architectural interest. The modern kitchen is both functional & beautiful, featuring high-end appliances, a generous island, & ample storage. A rare opportunity to own a truly special property in a premier location near Semiahmoo.
