About this home

Private and peaceful 5.6-acre property featuring a well-maintained 3-bedroom, 2-bath home with a full-height unfinished basement, attached 2-car carport, detached shop, and rooftop deck. Nearly an acre of park-like grounds is surrounded by over 4 acres of forest with private trails and a pond, creating a truly serene setting. The third bedroom is currently configured as a spacious walk-in closet and vanity area but can easily be converted back to a bedroom. A finished bonus room off the carport offers flexible space for a home office, den, or hobbies. Enjoy the privacy of country living while being less than 10 minutes from I-5 and within 15–25 minutes of Bellingham, Ferndale, Lynden, and Blaine. One year home warranty included.
