About this home
Perched on an oversized lot with sweeping, unforgettable views of Bellingham Bay, the San Juan Islands, and surrounding mountains, this 1907 Craftsman offers a rare opportunity in one of Bellingham’s most sought-after locations . . . The South Hill. Owned by the same family since the 1940s, the property presents an exceptional opportunity to reimagine, restore, or create something entirely new. The existing home and foundation provide a potential starting point for your vision, while the generous lot may offer possibilities for an ADU or additional development—buyer to verify. Whether preserving the character and charm of the original Craftsman or designing a stunning custom residence that takes full advantage of the views, this property offers flexibility, privacy, and tremendous potential. Ideally located just minutes from Fairhaven, with easy access to waterfront parks, trails, shopping, dining and the amenities of South Bellingham. A truly special setting where location, views, and opportunity come together. Home is being sold AS IS.
