About this home

Perched above the shoreline in Semiahmoo's coveted Oertel Road neighborhood, this exceptional double-lot waterfront property offers 120 feet of high-bank shoreline with panoramic west-facing saltwater views of White Rock and beyond. Watch bald eagles soar overhead by day, spectacular sunsets paint the evening sky, and the twinkling lights across the water create a stunning nighttime panorama.A rare highlight is the private staircase leading to the beach below, where you own the tidelands. Walk miles of shoreline, beachcomb, dig for clams, crab, fish, or simply relax as the tides ebb and flow in the fresh coastal air. Waterfront properties offering private beach access and owned tidelands are increasingly rare.Built in 1958 and meticulously maintained, the home offers three bedrooms plus flexible living spaces, including spacious living and family rooms with a cozy wood-burning fireplace insert. Thoughtful updates include a newer composition roof, rebuilt waterfront deck, enclosed glass pavilion, irrigation system, private hot tub, heated floors and a primary suite with a gas fireplace and beautiful water views.Combining an extraordinary waterfront setting, owned tidelands, private beach access, and one of Semiahmoo's most desirable locations, this is a rare opportunity to own a truly exceptional waterfront property.
