Welcome to a rare opportunity in Bellingham's sought-after Sudden Valley, where everyday living feels like a retreat. Enjoy access to Lake Whatcom, Lookout Mountain, parks, community events, an 18-hole golf course, a library, tennis courts, a pool, scenic hiking trails, and road maintenance — to name a few. The large lot features a terraced front yard with low-maintenance native plants, while the back offers an expansive deck perched above the forest floor and framed by towering evergreens. Well maintained - including new flooring and a new roof on the way. This home has so much to offer and is truly a place you'll want to come home to every day! An open layout connecting the living, dining, and kitchen areas is ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. The grand living area, anchored by a gas fireplace, showcases warm vaulted ceilings and walls of windows streaming in abundant natural light. The main-floor primary suite offers a private bath and walk-in closet. A good-sized garage leaves plenty of room for bikes, kayaks, and paddle boards. A great combination of setting, space, and everyday comfort.
The purpose of the Residential Rural District is to maintain the low density rural residential character of the areas designated as rural neighborhoods or rural communities on the Comprehensive Plan map and implement the Comprehensive Plan policies that define the rural character in Whatcom County in accordance with RCW 36.70A.070(5). In addition, it is the intent of this district to provide the opportunity for the development of building sites which maximize the efficient use of both energy and land by allowing an option for clustering of residential lots.
