New construction! Ask about $10k in seller concessions! This brand-new 2 bed, 2.5 bath sits near peaceful Emerald Lake; a woodsy oasis less than 10 minutes to Barkley Village and life's amenities. This house is a rare find for the area with the extraordinary amount of sun it receives. A convenient ground-level entry with utility closet and storage leads up to the heart of the home with a bright, sun-filled kitchen and open living space. Slide open the door to a level outdoor space ready for gardening or grilling in all that sunshine. Upstairs, both generously sized bedrooms take in sweeping tree-filtered views of Bellingham, joined by two baths and a laundry room. The building site's slope yields an oversized crawl space under the floor framing. Buyers considering future storage or finished space should verify feasibility with Whatcom County Planning. You'll be comfortable year-round with a high-efficiency heat pump for heat and AC, plus upgraded insulation and air-sealing for lower bills and steady temps. A blank canvas waiting for you to make it home!
