Some homes simply stand apart...and this is one of them! Offered for the first time, this cherished Birchwood rambler showcases rare craftsmanship and thoughtful design. Designed by the homeowner and built in 1960 with upscale, ahead-of-its-time features, the open floor plan, expansive living areas, and generous room sizes remain remarkably relevant today. A striking 9-foot Tennessee marble fireplace with a single-slab hearth, solid walnut accent paneling in the living room, and a custom walnut-and-glass built-in dining room hutch add warmth, character, and one-of-a-kind appeal. Large picture windows fill the home with natural light, while abundant closets and storage add everyday function. The spacious kitchen, formal and casual dining areas, two inviting living rooms, 3 bedrooms/2.5 baths and 2,051 SF offer exceptional flexibility for daily living and entertaining. Outside, there's plenty of room with an expansive covered patio that overlooks a beautifully sized 13,504 SF lot bordered by a 50-year-old, 10-foot solid Arborvitae evergreen hedge for exceptional privacy. The backyard backs to Bellingham’s newer 7-acre Storybrook Park, with walking trails and easy access from the Cherrywood connector trail, plus a short walk down Cherrywood to the "Bay to Baker" Trail, a 3-mile route along a former railway right-of-way. This is the kind of home buyers wait years to find—a true Birchwood gem where quality, character, privacy, and timeless design come together.
