Fantastic opportunity in one of Bellingham's favorite neighborhoods, just a short jaunt to Whatcom Falls and Bloedel Donovan parks. This custom, four bedroom home with MIL was designed and built by the current owner. It's a solid and timeless example of great design and just needs your imagination to polish it into your dream home. The lower level has been converted to a mother-in-law suite and is outfitted with a full kitchen and full bath. The private entrance allows for lots of options! On the main level, there are two living rooms with potential bay views and four bedrooms including a large primary suite with a walk in closet and spacious bath. It offers unique features, like a sunken living room and beautiful clerestory windows that bring in tons of natural light. The dining room has ample space for large gatherings and includes a lovely, built-in china cabinet. The kitchen is the literally the heart of this home. The layout was carefully thought out with lots of storage and a sweet, curved breakfast bar. Another thoughtful and convenient feature is the built in bookcase that defines an office space that takes advantage of the natural light and flow of the floor plan. The roof was replaced within the last 10 years and the rest of the home is in good condition. There is a fairly steep driveway, but there is ample, flat parking at the top and easy turn-around areas. Update the finishes and you can create a truly stunning home.
