About this home

2 Lots! An exceptional Lake Samish waterfront estate offering privacy and a lifestyle defined by sun, scenery, and seamless indoor–outdoor living. The home includes approximately 2,151 SF across three levels and was remodeled in 2006 with quality materials and craftsmanship throughout. This distinctive property features your own private dock with a 6,000-lb boat lift, desirable southern exposure, and a stunning side deck that becomes the centerpiece of summer living with warm afternoon and evening sun. The exterior reflects enduring quality with unique metal siding installed by Andgar and a roof equipped with 24 solar panels that provide virtually free electricity during sunny months. A standby generator and hot tub further elevate comfort and efficiency. Interior finishes include extensive cherry, birch, and fir woodwork, along with slate flooring in the kitchen and bathrooms, creating a warm Northwest-contemporary aesthetic that fits the setting beautifully. The upper-level primary suite opens through expansive Andersen sliders to sweeping lake views and abundant natural light. The flexible floor plan includes a main-level media/flex room and a daylight level ideal for guests, extended living, or semi-separate accommodations. A very important aspect is the valuable second parcel across the street offers an oversized two-car garage, additional storage, and the rare potential for an additional residence or ADU (buyer to verify). A truly irreplaceable offering on Lake Samish.
