About This Home

As of September 2023

This Geneva neighborhood home has been loved and updated over the years and is privately situated at the end of a cul-de-sac overlooking a detention pond that acts as a nature preserve with the views of Lake Whatcom beyond. It is situated near the trails on Galbraith Mtn and public access to the lake. Recent updates include new paint (inside and out), cabinets, countertops, carpet, tile & hardwood floors, plumbing & light fixtures, appliances, roof and even solar panels. The floor plan is open and spacious with formal & informal living and dining areas...all with lake views. Primary suite has an updated spa-like bath & takes in the views of Lake Whatcom, also. The bonus room over the garage can easily be a 4th bedroom as there is a closet.
