About this home

There’s a lot to love about country living, but what makes this home special is how easy it is to actually live it. Set on 1.2 level acres at the end of a quiet street, there’s room to garden, gather, raise chickens, park the RV, work in the powered shop, or simply enjoy having a little more space around you. Inside, the 4-bedroom home offers two generous living spaces, a dedicated dining room, main-floor bedroom, wood-burning stove, and a primary suite with soaking tub. Updated LVP flooring and fresh paint make it move-in ready, while a 9.25 kW solar system and newer heat pump + furnace add meaningful efficiency. But summer may be when this property shines brightest. The huge back deck was made for entertaining, with a covered area for year-round grilling, while the firepit and hammock swings create the kind of backyard gathering spot you’ll use again and again. Add gardens, fruit trees, a greenhouse, gated entry, RV parking, and a location convenient to Ferndale, Lynden, Blaine, Birch Bay and I-5, and you get the best of both worlds: a little bit of country, a neighborhood where people look out for one another, and plenty of room to make it your own.
