About this home
Single Family · Built 1962
An extraordinary opportunity to own a 1962 mid-century home with a separate beach bungalow on the shores of Lake Whatcom. Situated on a sunny section of the lake, on a quiet street in a treasured enclave of Geneva, just minutes from town. Nearly 4,000 sq ft and primarily main level living. Spacious living room features large windows that frame a gorgeous lake view. Generously sized 3-car garage and ample parking. The beachside bungalow with a kitchenette and half bath is perfect for guests, an art studio, or your private escape. Wake up to the sound of gentle waves and step outside to your own piece of sun-filled lakeside heaven. This is the epitome of PNW lake living!
