About this home
Opportunities like this in the heart of Whatcom Falls don't come around often! This charming 3-bed, 2-bath home sits on an incredible, oversized double lot, nearly half an acre, that backs to a serene, private forest and creek. A lot this size is a rare find in this neighborhood, and it's yours to shape: build a second home or ADU down the road (buyer to verify all), or simply savor this kind of space and privacy. Trees line the property, the creek offers a soothing backdrop, like a vacation all year long (but you are just min from downtown). All the big-ticket items on the house have already been checked off, featuring a brand-new roof and fresh interior and exterior paint, so you can move right in and start dreaming about how to enjoy your endless outdoor space. On the lower level, you'll find convenient parking alongside a versatile, multi-purpose utility space. Whether you need a home gym, an office, a wine cellar, or a massive pantry, this space adapts to your lifestyle. The main level welcomes you with an open living room anchored by a cozy gas fireplace, a full kitchen, dining area, and a half bath. Step out onto the deck to take in the tranquil views of your private forest setting. Upstairs, you'll find 3 generously sized bedrooms and another full bathroom. Unbeatable Location: Walk to Whatcom Falls Park, bike to Bloedel Donovan Beach, or head out for a day of mountain biking at Galbraith Mountain. Live right in the middle of everything that makes Bellingham famous!

Whatcom Falls, located between Lake Whatcom and downtown Bellingham, is a residential and park-centered Bellingham neighborhood with a forested creek corridor and historic stonework bridges. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Whatcom Falls Park entrance at Lakeway Drive and Electric Avenue, where trailheads, picnic lawns, and the sound of the falls set the pace. Early- and mid-century homes mix with newer infill on curving, tree-lined streets shaped by the ravine. Whatcom Falls Park frames daily routines with footbridges, swimming holes, and miles of paths. Nearby, the Whatcom Museum’s Old City Hall and the Mount Baker Theatre add a cultural counterpoint to the quiet streets.
