Perched above the surrounding neighborhood, this custom-built home offers a rare combination of space, quality, and value in Sudden Valley. Soaring ceilings, hardwood floors, and expansive windows create a light-filled interior, while the thoughtfully designed floorplan provides room to gather, work, and unwind. The kitchen was built for everyday living and entertaining alike, featuring generous workspace, abundant storage, and an oversized island that serves as the heart of the home. Upstairs, the primary suite feels like a private retreat with mountain views and a spa-inspired bath complete with dual sinks, a soaking tub, and an impressive tiled shower. A spacious enclosed porch, Trex deck, and terraced yard extend the living space outdoors. Yes, the driveway climbs the hill—but that's exactly what creates the elevated setting, sweeping views, and privacy that make this property so special. For buyers willing to trade a little elevation for a lot more home, this is an opportunity that's hard to replicate at this price point. Enjoy all the amenities of Sudden Valley, including golf, lake access, beaches, trails, parks, pools, and 24-hour security, all within the Bellingham School District.
