3914 Lakeway Drive, Bellingham, WA 98229
What's special
Welcome to rural privacy on just shy of 1/2 an acre. This unique and inspired home by a talented architect was recently refinished in every aspect. An extra-thick front wall provides enhanced sound insulation from the road. Vaulted pinewood ceilings in living room, dining room & loft bring a warm and uplifting mood. Skylights, window box details & rich fir trim throughout add light and warmth. From floors to roof, all is new including furnace, bathroom & full kitchen remodel w/SS appliances. Special attention to lighting means the home is bright & warm in all seasons. Three bedrooms + a bonus loft space offer many options. Large windows look out on the sky & garden, and the finished (115 sq ft) loft gives a bird's eye view of the private landscape. The large, quiet backyard features a park-like mature rhododendron forest & colonized plants along a winter creek. There's a perfect spot for a garden in good south facing sun. The mature landscaping means time in the garden is spent on fun projects, or just relaxing. Enjoy the tranquility of exceptional privacy, while just minutes from town. The adjacent forests are at base of Galbraith Mt, providing recreation and deep privacy into the future. Single garage + parking for 5 in driveway & space for a shop. First house outside city limits, giving advantages of a County residence and City proximity. A traffic revision is planned and approved to bring slower traffic and more crosswalks for your walk to nearby Whatcom Falls Park.
