About this home
S. Bellingham Gentleman's Farm minutes from I-5, Pine & Cedar Lakes Trailhead & Fairhaven! Incredibly serene with wooded mountain views this home has a definite lodge-like feel. Open floor plan, fir trim, maple cabinets & floors & sunlight galore! There is even a heated shop 35'x30' with room for an RV or boat, a garden studio by a waterfall, the "Clubhouse" in the back yard where many a good time has been had (Kingdome bleachers remain) & an expansive deck and sauna! This is a rare opportunity!
