About this home

True Mid Century Modern home with views of the Bay and Bellingham! 1957 Gem perched up on Puget Hill has been well taken care of and tastefully updated. Three bedrooms on the main floor with two more downstairs gives the next owner great options. The kitchen just received a complete remodel with all new cabinets, appliances, floors and more! Both bathrooms have also been nicely updated. Beautiful Hardwood floors, cool 50's slate accents and two real wood fireplaces keep the original charm alive! Downstairs had been a full MIL, but kitchen has since been removed. Easy to restore if wanted with its own entry. The back yard is very private and fully fenced, mature landscaping is stunning. Wrap around deck on the main floor with forever views.
