Discover this perfect Lake Whatcom waterfront escape, a charming lakefront bungalow that redefines lake lifestyle. Ideally suited for cherished long weekends, extended summer escapes, or spontaneous getaways, this private sanctuary invites you to experience lake life at a one of a kind property. Step onto the existing private dock, framed by striking natural rock outcroppings that add timeless beauty to the shoreline. Host lakeside gatherings, dock a boat, play yard games on the flat, sun drenched lawn, or simply unwind at this lakeside oasis. The one bedroom home, with living room and kitchen, offer the perfect space for summer indoor/outdoor entertaining. A large two-car garage keeps your kayaks, paddleboards, and all your lake gear effortlessly organized and ready. When not enjoying this personal haven yourself, explore the potential as a short term rental (with a conditional use permit) offering both an exceptional lifestyle and smart investment potential. A short drive to town, restaurants, and shopping but far enough apart to feel a sense of escape. A serene, private offering like this with its gentle shoreline, beautiful rock outcroppings, usable yard, and instantly grounding sense of calm are hard to find.
