About this home
Chuckanut Home set on 2.4 acres within the city limits! Less than a mile to Fairhaven, this property presents a rare opportunity for development in a superb location. New zoning laws allow for increased residential density, with the potential for smaller lots and a wider range of housing options. A feasibility report has been completed. This property is also ideal for those looking to create a multigenerational living environment. Selective tree clearing could open up views of Bellingham Bay. The solid, one-owner home lends itself to single-level living, with the primary bedroom on the main floor. The generously sized, fully finished lower level features a second living room and offers excellent flexibility, with the potential to add two additional bedrooms or create a separate apartment. The lower level has its own entrance, along with existing wiring and plumbing for a kitchenette. Enjoy a highly desirable location near trail access for endless hiking and biking, and just minutes from Fairhaven’s amenities, shops, and restaurants.
