There are lake homes, and then there is Lakeside. Set on the shores of Lake Samish, this extraordinary Northwest-transitional residence is set on 150-160 feet of private waterfront compromising two lots. The setting is so naturally spectacular, the home is designed to incorporate the lake as part of the interior. Conceived by AIA Architect Jeff McClure and masterfully constructed by Emerald Builders, Lakeside reflects the highest standard of thoughtful, purposeful design and beauty. Every decision - from the south-facing orientation to the careful selection of natural materials that echo the forested landscape - speaks to an architect and builder who understood exactly what this site demanded. The result is a home of extraordinary warmth and beauty, one that feels simultaneously grand in its setting and deeply intimate in its character. Comprising a 3,202 square foot primary residence plus a self-contained 550 square-foot guest house, Lakeside offers the rare combination of ample room for entertaining alongside the kind of private, restorative spaces that make daily life feel like a permanent vacation. Luxury amenities include a home gym, commercial-grade dock with dry boat lift, hot tub, outdoor shower and wood-burning fireplace with propane lighter
