A Mid-Century Masterpiece Above Pleasant Bay — Chuckanut Drive Perched above Pleasant Bay, this celebrated mid-century residence designed by legendary architect Sid Nesbit, appears on the market for the very first time. A rare offering along Chuckanut Drive, one of the Pacific Northwest's most scenic corridors, the home blends architectural character with natural splendor. The main residence spans 2,190 square feet, thoughtfully expanded through a recent addition and modern updates that honor its original spirit. A self-contained 512 square foot studio offers flexibility for guests or additional rental income. Membership to the Chuckanut Beaches Association grants access to five private beaches. A trail on the property leads to Beach 3 on Pleasant Bay, one of the area's most serene and unspoiled enclaves. Sunset kayaking and quiet mornings on the water are simply part of life here. Entertain effortlessly on the deck as the bay shimmers below, or find solitude in the Lookout, an inspired perch for working, writing, or contemplation while eagles and herons soar above you. A private hot tub and treehouse-like setting complete the picture, surrounded by nature and steeped in calm. This forest retreat offers nearby access to the Interurban Trail and exceptional Chuckanut Mountain hiking, yet is just minutes from the charm of Fairhaven and vibrant downtown Bellingham. This is Pacific Northwest living at its finest.
