About this home

Opportunities like this in the heart of Whatcom Falls don't come around often! This charming 3-bed, 2-bath home sits on an incredible, oversized double lot, nearly half an acre, that backs to a serene, private forest and creek. A lot this size is a rare find in this neighborhood, and it's yours to shape: build a second home or ADU down the road (buyer to verify all), or simply savor this kind of space and privacy. Trees line the property, the creek offers a soothing backdrop, like a vacation all year long (but you are just min from downtown). All the big-ticket items on the house have already been checked off, featuring a brand-new roof and fresh interior and exterior paint, so you can move right in and start dreaming about how to enjoy your endless outdoor space. On the lower level, you'll find convenient parking alongside a versatile, multi-purpose utility space. Whether you need a home gym, an office, a wine cellar, or a massive pantry, this space adapts to your lifestyle. The main level welcomes you with an open living room anchored by a cozy gas fireplace, a full kitchen, dining area, and a half bath. Step out onto the deck to take in the tranquil views of your private forest setting. Upstairs, you'll find 3 generously sized bedrooms and another full bathroom. Unbeatable Location: Walk to Whatcom Falls Park, bike to Bloedel Donovan Beach, or head out for a day of mountain biking at Galbraith Mountain. Live right in the middle of everything that makes Bellingham famous!
