Occasionally, a special home comes along that reflects the design skills and tastes of the owners resulting in a truly one-of-a-kind residence. This shy 1,800 sqft 3 bed 2 bath home has been thoughtfully remodeled by its current owners maintaining its mid-century spirit. Using a blend of high-end materials and painstakingly selected reclaimed finishes, the home gives storied materials a beautiful new purpose. Alder shelving from a 1950s Bellingham middle school, oak flooring from a gymnasium, and old-growth Douglas fir mantel bring warmth and texture, while woodwork from a local theater and midcentury home adds distinctive detail. The kitchen features recently installed LG refrigerator and induction range-oven with Bertazzoni hood, custom made cabinets and butcher block island, new countertops plus a new slate entry and high-end carpet. Set on the lot to provide good separation from all sides and ample room in the front yard for gardening, the private backyard has mature trees all framing a recently resurfaced Trex deck, brick patio and stone firepit using locally reclaimed materials. Large 2 car garage with covered breezeway. Adding to all this is a completely redone crawlspace large enough for storage, new mini splits & electric fireplace, remodeled downstairs bath, new H2O tank and brand-new high end Anderson windows. For buyers who appreciate thoughtful design and materials with a story, there’s plenty to love with this home, located in the desirable Tweedy Twenty area.
