Set on a quiet street at the base of Galbraith Mtn, this immaculately remodeled 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath home embodies PNW tranquility, blending modern comforts with the serenity of forest living. A greenbelt wraps around two sides of the property with trail access on nearby streets making daily hikes & bike rides a breeze. Large windows frame the surrounding forest, while tongue-and-groove vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, and bamboo floors bring natural warmth indoors. Main floor features a 3/4 bath & two inviting living spaces, each with its own gas fireplace, creating a cozy retreat for crisp fall evenings. The beautifully remodeled kitchen features custom soft-close cabinetry, quartz countertops, & a 5-burner Bosch cooktop. The sellers and A1Builders thoughtfully designed the remodel incorporating carefully considered details & clever storage solutions incl. a walk-in pantry & custom office storage. In the dining room, an original stained-glass window, built-in bench seat, and views of the private, wooded yard w/access to the back deck. Upstairs, 3 generously sized bedrooms include a primary suite w/ensuite & custom closet storage, a 2nd bedroom with vaulted ceilings & an exposed beam, and a 3rd BR with a walk-in closet. Lower level offers a 4th bedroom, ideal for guests, a home office, or workshop + access to oversized garage. Enjoy a lifestyle centered around the outdoors, with Galbraith Mtn trails at your doorstep and Lake Whatcom access at Euclid Park just minutes away.
