About This Home
Just minutes from town yet a world apart, this Hamptons-inspired waterfront estate embodies Pacific NW luxury. Set on 4.6 acres with 500+ ft of private shoreline and stairs to your own beach, it’s perfect for kayaking, or peaceful mornings by the water. The 4,215 sq ft residence combines timeless design with modern comforts: a chef’s kitchen with wood-burning FP, radiant floor heating, main-level primary suite, media room, office, and full bar. Expansive windows showcase sweeping views of Bellingham Bay and the San Juan Islands, while multiple decks and patios invite seamless indoor-outdoor living. From sunset hot tub soaks to hosting on manicured lawns, every detail creates a refined coastal retreat—serene, scenic, and truly one-of-a-kind.
