(1) Living/Dining

An “aerie” is an eagle’s nest, and this cluster of homes is has been aptly named as a towering cottonwood tree on the property is home to an active bald eagle nest site. The Aerie at Semiahmoo is truly unique among Northwest waterfront properties. As a townhome it allows for carefree living yet it is miles away from the ordinary. Flexible, multi-purpose living spaces adapt to any lifestyle. With a 3,600 square foot carefully crafted interior and a full concrete privacy wall separating you and the adjoining home, it affords all the features and livability of a quality-built, single-family home. Inside you’ll discover a delightful, inspired floor plan. With 10’-13’ ceilings and an abundance of clerestory windows, architectural beams and ledges, there is no shortage of design flair. From the entry door with its inset beveled glass panes and sidelights to the large-scale limestone tile flooring which graces the entry, kitchen and dining area — everything about this home is eye-catching and aesthetically pleasing. The central foyer gives way to an incredible open living/dining area that captures the views at every turn. The formal dining area has a built-in buffet with pull-out storage and granite serving top. Oversized sliding glass doors leading to a small side deck and BBQ area. Two steps down from the dining room is the living room, which has cabinetry for your media equipment and wiring that connects to the built-in ceiling speakers placed throughout the home. The area is also pre-plumbed if you wish to install a wet bar. A central gas fireplace is simply adorned with a classic, clean mantle – ready to be accented with your favorite artwork. Expansive banks of tall windows frame the space and are covered by Hunter Douglas “Silhouette” blinds, some of which are operated by remote control. A 7’ exterior door, complete with a glass storm door, leads from the living room to the wrap-around deck which is ideal for entertaining larger groups. Roll-away “Phantom” screens doors bring in the fresh sea air while keeping out pests and not obscuring the views.
(2) Kitchen/Nook

The grand, gourmet kitchen is partially open to the living/dining area, with a pass-through serving area that still providing adequate separation. You’ll fall in love with the 13’ ceilings, clerestory windows, and upper drywall niches for art display.

The sophisticated powder bath has designer features like a unique slab granite accent piece with natural edge, a “floating” vanity and a geometric Kohler corner sink with sleek modern faucets, which add to the drama. The convenient main-floor laundry room features an under-mount washer & dryer, lots of storage, a pull-down ironing board and separate broom closet.
