About this home

Unbeatable pricing on this stylishly rebuilt and move-in ready Lake Samish area home. This thoughtfully renovated peaceful living retreat offers the perfect blend of modern comfort and future potential with its large lot. Taken down to the studs and extensively updated in 2021, nearly every major component has been replaced—including plumbing, electrical, insulation, drywall, windows, heating, water heater, siding, and a durable metal roof—allowing you to enjoy the home with confidence for years to come. Inside, the bright, open living spaces are complemented by a beautifully updated kitchen and bath with timeless finishes. Relax on the sunny front Trex deck, take advantage of basement storage, and enjoy the privacy of a spacious half-acre lot with peekaboo views of Lake Samish. Community lake access is just down the road, while nearby hiking and world-class mountain biking trails invite year-round adventure. The oversized lot also presents an exciting opportunity to expand or potentially build a second residence, including the possibility of a daylight basement home with even better lake views (buyer to verify). Conveniently located just minutes from I-5 and approximately 15 minutes to Fairhaven, this property offers the rare combination of turnkey living, outdoor recreation, and long-term potential.
