About This Home

As of November 2018

Come to the lake! This sweet sunrise cottage on Lake Whatcom has been recently updated with a new kitchen & new flooring in both bathrooms, the laundry room and entry. The antique Kimball piano and built-in shelving welcome you. On the main, let the sunshine in through the french doors and big picture windows. The enlarged, low-maintenance deck is the perfect place to enjoy your morning coffee. And there's room for the boat with the shared dock. What a lovely place to be-welcome home!
