About this home
Set on a full acre along a quiet private road lined with high-end homes, this two-story Bellingham property offers space, privacy, and an unbeatable location just minutes from shopping, dining, top-rated schools, and I-5 access. A welcoming covered front porch leads into a bright foyer that flows seamlessly into a gourmet kitchen featuring abundant cabinetry, stainless appliances, and a sunny breakfast nook overlooking the sprawling backyard. The adjoining family room centers around a cozy gas fireplace, while a separate formal living and dining area offers additional room to gather and entertain guests year-round. Upstairs, the primary suite is a true retreat, featuring a jetted soaking tub, spacious walk-in closet, and dual-sink vanity, joined by generously sized secondary bedrooms, a full bath, and a dedicated home office/4th bedroom perfect for remote work or study. Step outside to a large patio overlooking a vast, level acre of lawn framed by distant mountain views — the kind of open, private space that's increasingly rare in this sought-after neighborhood of custom-built homes. With a 2-car garage plus ample parking for cars or RVs in the driveway, mature landscaping with robotic mower included, and plenty of room to roam for gardens, play, or a future shop, this property is a rare blend of comfort, privacy, and an unmatched, convenient location just outside the city.
