Remodeled from the foundation-up in 1981 this Scandi-inspired 3 bedroom/2 bath, light-filled Birchwood home packs great contemporary style into a smart and creative floor plan. Placed perfectly at the front of its .7 acre (30,492 sq ft!!) Lot, the location of the current home plus the size and location of this lot, in combination with Bellingham's recent zoning changes, creates A GOLDMINE of current and future OPPORTUNITIES in the heart of Birchwood! Live large, enjoy the elbow room on .7 acres, grow a garden, tend a mini-farm, and also enjoy a property that supports the potential for an ADU or a multi-family investment property. This core Bellingham location is fantastic and its opportunities/possibilities are way too many to list!
