About this home
Welcome to Woods Point, a premier gated 55+ community perfectly situated between Bellingham and Ferndale. This home occupies a coveted premium lot with no neighbors to the south or west, offering a rare sense of privacy and beautiful greenspace views. The layout is thoughtfully designed for effortless main-floor living. The heart of the home features a light-filled, open-concept great room with a tiled gas fireplace and a gourmet kitchen boasting quartz countertops and a walk-in pantry. Tucked away on this same level for ultimate convenience is the spacious primary suite, providing a true retreat without the need to navigate stairs. A dedicated main-floor office sits behind elegant French doors, making daily routines entirely accessible on one level. While the main floor provides everything you need, the upper level offers an ideal separation for guests. Upstairs, you’ll find two additional bedrooms, a full bath, and a versatile bonus area—perfect for a hobby space or secondary lounge. High-end upgrades elevate the experience, including custom electronic shades and a heat pump for year-round comfort. Outside, an expansive covered patio and fenced backyard serve as a private sanctuary for enjoying Pacific Northwest sunsets. With a stylish clubhouse, pickleball courts, and professional landscaping included, this is the perfect blend of sophisticated design and low-maintenance living.
