**An intentionally built home- made to be shared.** Built by Channel Marker Homes, this lakefront residence reflects superior craftsmanship and attention to detail. Wood floors carry through the home, natural materials add warmth, and a soaring cathedral ceiling with wood detailing gives the main living space a sense of character. But what makes this home remarkable is the life it creates within it. The kitchen, dining area, and great room come together as the home's natural heart. A full wet bar sits just off the living room, making it easy to host friends for dinner or pour a drink at the end of the day. Large sliding glass doors open to the screened outdoor living space, allowing the home to flow towards the lake and bringing the landscape into everyday life. Under its dramatic A-frame ceiling, the screened porch is a true extension of the home, complete with an outdoor kitchen, grilling area, and wood-burning fireplace. An additional patio and pergola overlook the water, framed by mature landscaping and a tree-lined backyard that creates an unexpected sense of privacy. The setting changes throughout the day. Mornings begin with birds and wildlife along the lake. Evenings bring sunsets over the water, a fire in the fireplace, and happy hour with neighbors and friends. For a home created to entertain, it is equally good at being quiet--a private sanctuary. The kitchen offers a generous marble-topped island that anchors the space alongside quartz perimeter countertops, double convection ovens, a gas cooktop, custom cabinetry, a built-in breakfast nook, and a large walk-in pantry. The first-floor primary suite offers its own retreat with two walk-in closets and a beautiful bath that Channel Marker well known for creating; it features a tiled walk-in shower, soaking tub, and separate vanities. A flex space with custom cabinetry, a thoughtfully designed laundry room, and abundant storage adds function throughout the main level. Upstairs, three additional bedrooms provide comfortable space for family and guests. With more than 3,100 heated square feet, four bedrooms and two-and-a-half baths, the home's specifications are impressive. Yet they tell only part of its story. This has been a home where neighbors became friends, family returned again and again, and life gathered naturally around the kitchen, the fireplace, the porch, and the lake. A home that can hold a celebration and still feel like a sanctuary. ** Summerhouse Lifestyle** Resort-style living awaits in Summerhouse on Everett Bay, where the amenities are designed to complement a relaxed coastal lifestyle.
