Minutes from Galbraith Mountain trails, Lake Whatcom, & downtown Bellingham, this home sits in one of the city's most coveted corridors, where trail access, lake days, & a vibrant downtown are simply part of daily life. The yard is something special, with established garden beds, mature landscaping, & a greenhouse that reflect years of care, thought, & intention, the kind of outdoor space that takes decades to cultivate & immediately feels like home. A deck off the kitchen overlooks it all, making the transition between inside & out feel completely seamless.Inside, the home is warm & welcoming with a layout that just makes sense: a primary suite with its own bathroom, two additional bedrooms, a spacious kitchen that spills out onto that deck, & a living & dining area bathed in natural light that makes you want to linger. The lower level adds a genuine bonus with ADU potential, a kitchenette, extra bedroom, massive rec room, covered patio, separate entry, & a mudroom with a dog wash station that makes coming home from the trails or the lake just a little easier. And then there is the shop: a 20x29 heated space that represents the kind of infrastructure you rarely inherit at any price point, paired with 25-foot covered RV or boat parking & an attached garage, all with EV-ready subpanels. A new roof, new water heater, fresh exterior paint, & a heat pump with air conditioning mean the big items are already checked off, & all that is left is moving in & making it yours.
