Come home to all that Birch Bay living has to offer, in this beautiful home set back from Cottonwood Beach! Enjoy gorgeous views of Birch Bay from the large living area & the light and bright kitchen. Over the past three years, the current owner has completed extensive updates including all new insulation and vapor barrier under the home, a new roof, new electrical panel, recessed lighting and updated light fixtures, new fencing, and fresh interior paint throughout. The main bathroom has been refreshed with a new vanity and tub, while the kitchen received a stylish update with a tile backsplash, solid maple slab countertops, and solid maple shelving. Additionally, a versatile flex space has been finished above the detached garage, offering even more functional living or work space. Come around back to the fenced patio & yard with garden space and a gated parking area leading to the 2 story, 2-bay garage--potential for boat storage/rental/shop downstairs, and studio/office upstairs. Enjoy close proximity to beaches and sunsets over islands. It's just a 5-minute walk to Birch Bay's beautiful 1.5-mile-long berm and public park space. Hop in the car and in 10 minutes you'll be at Birch Bay State Park or Semiahmoo Spit, or 15 to the beautiful Point Whitehorn Nature Preserve. Come enjoy picturesque Birch Bay living!
