A Pacific Northwest escape with room for your next idea
Set beneath a canopy of evergreens in the private waterfront community of Beachcrest, this cedar-sided home feels like the kind of place where weekends naturally stretch a little longer. The setting is peaceful and tucked away, yet Hawks Prairie shopping, dining, and I-5 are still close enough for everyday convenience.
Inside, two fireplaces, generous living spaces, built-in storage, and a flexible floor plan give the home warmth and possibility. Outside the front door, Beachcrest residents enjoy private shoreline access, a high-tide marina, boat launch, waterfront gathering areas, parks, and trails, the kind of amenities that make an ordinary Tuesday feel a little more like vacation.
Warm, flexible living spaces
At 972 square feet, the home makes thoughtful use of every room. Open living areas create flexibility for quiet evenings, casual entertaining, or coming home after a day on the water. Two wood-burning fireplaces add the cozy cabin character that fits this wooded setting so well.
