About this home

A rare opportunity to own a treasured piece of Bellingham history! Built 101 years ago, this remarkable estate occupies a front-row position overlooking Squalicum Beach, with breathtaking views of Bellingham Bay and the San Juan Islands beyond. Lovingly cherished by the same family for decades, this distinctive stucco home preserves the craftsmanship and character of a bygone era. Original doors and hardware remain intact, along with beautiful built-in cabinetry and shelving. The wood-burning fireplace, featuring an exceptional Ernest Batchelder tile surround, adds a timeless artistic touch. Thoughtful improvements include replacement windows, new insulation, solar panels, a new roof, an updated electrical panel, and a sewer line replacement in 2022. Set on a generous .58-acre parcel, the property offers a wealth of possibilities, including potential for additional homes, subject to zoning and city approvals. A charming carriage house and garden area further enhance the estate's appeal. Whether you envision preserving this historic treasure, creating a multi-home legacy property, or exploring its remarkable potential, this is a truly special offering where history, architectural character, and extraordinary waterfront views converge. Opportunities like this are seldom available...you do not want to miss out on this incredible home!
