Upstairs, three additional bedrooms and added bath space provide flexibility for guests, multi-generational living, or home office needs. Recent updates include a brand-new roof, updated kitchen and baths, efficient heat pump, expanded deck, and modernized systems, all carefully integrated to preserve the home’s unique legacy. Additional features: Carport, partially finished basement Possible 2nd home/ADU. Rich in local history, lovingly maintained across four generations, and positioned in one of Bellingham’s most iconic natural settings, this exceptional property offers the chance to own not just a home, but a true Chuckanut legacy.
