Welcome to the Arboretum! Sequoia, Douglas Fir, Japanese Maple and Autumn Blaze trees all grace this gorgeous double lot in the heart of Bellingham. The owners, one of whom is a professional arborist, also enjoy an abundant harvest of Rainier Cherry and Beauty Plum trees and blueberry bushes. A brand new legal studio overlooks the organic garden bed and can serve as art studio, yoga room, garden shed or reading nook. The home itself is a true turn of the century Craftsmen built of old growth tight-grain Douglas Fir with cedar siding and will stand the test of time. A 5 minute walk will find you at the famous Stone Bridge over Whatcom Falls, 5 minute bike ride to Galbraith mountain bike trails and a 5 minute drive to beautiful Lake Whatcom.
