Tucked away on a quiet street in Sudden Valley, this versatile home offers a rare blend of income potential, modern updates and outdoor adventure. It features a fully separate downstairs apartment estimated to rent for $1,000/month by a reputable property manager—perfect for offsetting your mortgage, hosting guests, or multi-generational living. Step outside and discover and deck perched above the street and your own private trail winding up the property to the top of a leafy green ridge, where nature and privacy surround you. With protected greenbelt lots behind the home, your peaceful forest backdrop is here to stay. Thoughtful upgrades shine inside. The kitchen has been refreshed with beautiful new birch counters, a new dishwasher, and durable LVP flooring that flows through the living spaces for a clean, modern feel. Comfort and efficiency are top of mind with a ductless heating/AC system and participation in Puget Sound Energy’s Flex program. An installed ChargePoint 240V Type 2 electric vehicle charger makes daily life even more convenient for EV owners. Location seals the deal: just a five-minute drive brings you to the beaches of Lake Whatcom, while Sudden Valley amenities like two pools, trails, golf and tennis are close at hand. Whether you’re looking for a smart investment, a nature-forward lifestyle, or both, this home delivers flexibility, value, and a setting that’s hard to beat.
