Perched on Alabama Hill, this spacious home sits on an expansive 20,909 sq ft lot—just shy of half an acre—offering partial bay and city views with stunning year-round sunsets. Backing directly to the Railroad Trail with private access, the property provides a rare blend of privacy, recreation, and convenience. Inside, the home offers 5+ bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, creating abundant space to live, work, and play. The lower level features a potential ADU with kitchenette and two separate entrances, making it ideal for multi-generational living, guests, or a work-from-home setup. The updated kitchen includes quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a gas stove, while the primary suite features its own ensuite bath. Recent upgrades include engineered hardwood flooring, a newer roof, heat pump with air conditioning, gas furnace, tankless hot water heater, and exterior paint. The outdoor park-like oasis features a large newer deck with sunshades, an expansive patio, level backyard with fire pit and play structure, and RV parking. With space, flexibility, and a prime trailside setting, this property offers a unique opportunity in one of Bellingham’s most desirable neighborhoods.
