Tucked into the evergreens on a quiet Sudden Valley street, this 2026 Northwest contemporary pairs a peaceful forest setting with a bright and refined interior. The vaulted great room is filled with natural light with tall windows framing the trees and a sleek gas, plaster finished fireplace anchoring the space. The kitchen features quartz counters, custom cabinetry, a large island with seating, Kitchen-Aid stainless steel appliances including a gas range, pot filler, and brass accents. Just off the dining area, a covered deck creates an inviting spot for year-round grilling and evenings surrounded by the evergreen forest. The primary suite is a private retreat with a walk-in closet and spa-inspired bath featuring a freestanding soaking tub, frameless glass shower with illuminated niche, double vanity, and toe kick lighting. The daylight lower level adds a bedroom, office, full bath, and laundry room with sink, offering flexibility for guests, work, or everyday living. LED-lit stairs, matte black accents, and designer lighting add a custom feel throughout. Efficient and future-ready with heat pump heating and cooling, HRV/ERV, hybrid heat pump water heater, EV charging, and generator wiring. The oversized 612 SF garage provides plenty of room for vehicles, storage, or workspace. Enjoy Sudden Valley's Lake Whatcom beaches, marina, golf, pools, pickleball, parks, and miles of trails, all within easy reach of Bellingham. Welcome home to 13 Wintercress Way.
