*** Available November 1st *** This modern, clean, private, furnished one-bedroom apartment is located in the Sudden Valley's pristine Gate 1 neighborhood, situated amidst tall pines, and surrounded by a lush green golf course, adjacent to beautiful Lake Whatcom. You're 15 minutes from Bellingham, about 90-minutes from Seattle, and only 65 miles from Mt Baker. The apartment is a bright daylight basement with a separate entrance below the main home. It has a single bedroom with en suite bathroom, and comes fully furnished with linens and towels. A large sliding door opens onto a private deck overlooking the garden and Lake Whatcom beyond. The kitchen is stocked with cooking utensils, plates, cups/glasses, coffee maker, microwave, crock-pot, new apartment sized refrigerator, compact dishwasher, and plenty of storage for groceries. The main living space is adjacent to the kitchen, with a 50-inch flat-screen TV provided with superfast wireless internet, DVD player and a large DVD library. A Bosch washer and dryer is provided, with detergent, for your exclusive use. The property is situated along a beautiful golf course, which is available to book if interested. The clubhouse has a bar and a Mexican restaurant, and there is a local grocery, gas station and a good pizza restaurant 1/2 mile away. A local fitness center is available, with tennis courts and outdoor pool. Outdoor recreation is shared with the local wildlife, as the deer are part of the community, so you will see them up close and often. Rabbits, squirrels, raccoon and a variety of birds also share the woods, but they are cautious, so less conspicuous. The community is safe, with security patrols, and a fire station less than 1/2 mile away. It's a beautiful place to call home, to either stroll in, or to relax on the deck with a cup of coffee or a glass of wine, or to enjoy after a long day exploring the nature trails or the nearby cascade mountains. This apartment is a non-smoking, no shoes, pet-restricted space. Utilities are $100 per month. Send inquiries to Scott
