About this home

Tucked into a storybook setting where a year-round creek winds through the landscape, this extraordinary home offers a lifestyle that feels worlds away from the everyday. Positioned on a quarter acre, the setting is defined by privacy, tranquility, and a serene connection to nature. Inside, a dramatic wall of picture windows transforms the surrounding forest and creek into living artwork, flooding the home with natural light and creating a seamless connection between indoors and out. The distinctive architecture is both inviting and memorable, featuring soaring spaces, warm textures, and a loft overlooking the main living area. Designed for both relaxation and entertaining, the home offers an uncommon collection of wellness-inspired amenities, including an indoor sauna and plunge tub. Outside, the over 1400sf deck extends over the natural landscape, providing a front-row seat to the sights and sounds of the creek below. Whether hosting guests, enjoying morning coffee, or unwinding at the end of the day, the setting invites you to slow down and savor the moment. A detached covered parking structure with enclosed storage provides space for hobbies and gear. Located within Sudden Valley, residents enjoy many community amenities, all within a short drive of downtown Bellingham. More than a home, this is a retreat designed to be experienced. **1% lender credit, up to $7500, offered through our preferred lender, Amy Baker at Movement Mortgage**
