About This Home

As of October 2023

This single level home has mid-century modern details throughout and breathtaking views of Mt Baker beyond the incredible mature landscaping that is surrounding the home. The elements of this home are reminiscent of that of the renown architect, Frank Lloyd Wright with the floor to ceiling windows, concealed lighting, and natural finishes. The home looks down onto a pond with a gazebo in the lower lawn between the home and the large shop with the mountain beyond. The three bedrooms are spacious and the formal and informal living and dining areas are as well. The 1.5 acres are easily maintained with a lot of old growth and natural landscape. The roof and gutters were replaced one year ago.
