About this home
Uniquely situated on over five peaceful acres, this private sanctuary offers the rare opportunity to enjoy a tranquil setting just minutes from the conveniences of Bellingham. With room to make it your own, you have plenty of space for recreation, the addition of a shop, or income generating ADUs! Start your mornings with birdsong and unwind each evening to the gentle chorus of crickets from the neighboring pond. The expansive lawn is an ideal backdrop for entertaining, recreation and creating memories, while the thoughtfully designed, low-maintenance landscape offers nearly year-round color and blooms. Inside, carefully selected updates honor the home's original character while enhancing everyday comfort, including a beautifully remodeled upstairs bath, new LVP flooring throughout, an updated kitchen, new fixtures throughout, a new composite deck and new garage doors. The split-level design creates inviting spaces for gathering while offering the option of separation and privacy in the upstairs bedrooms. Flat, sunny, and full of possibility, the property offers ample space to bring your vision to life—whether that's cultivating an extensive garden, building a shop for hobbies and recreational gear, or adding an ADU for multi-generational living or supplemental income. Whatever your plans, this property provides the space and flexibility to make them a reality. **1% lender credit, up to $7500, offered through our preferred lender, Amy Baker at Movement Mortgage**
