About this home

Come home to your cherished manor, the Crown Jewel of Bellingham real estate! Near I-5 & Lakeway, you’re just minutes to shop, worship, work or play then retreat to your castle in the woods and leave the city and world behind! This .28-acre lot sets across from forested land owned by city with a hiking/biking trail and a bit north of a turn-around on the no-outlet street. Behind the land is wooded acreage on a steep hill descending toward Bellingham Bay. Neighboring homes only on the north and south. Whether your destination is Whole Foods, Trader Joes or Costco; local places of worship; downtown, WWU, or Fairhaven; Lake Padden, Squalicum Harbor & Yacht Club, or Galbraith Mt, it is but a hop, skip & short jump to and from your PNW chateau.
