Tucked among the evergreens of Sudden Valley, this well-maintained home reflects the care and craftsmanship of a skilled, detail-oriented carpenter. Quality construction is evident throughout, with solid-core doors, thoughtful trim work, and custom-finished window surrounds accented by granite sills—subtle details that prioritize lasting quality over passing trends. The main level features two bedrooms and 1.75 baths, along with a clean, functional kitchen offering a generous island with butcher block surface & added wine fridge. While some finishes remain original, the home has been meticulously maintained, providing an excellent opportunity to personalize and update gradually while preserving its solid foundation.The lower level, accessed separately from the exterior, includes a partially finished studio-style space with a half bath—ideal for hobbies, a workshop, creative space, or flexible future use. A one-car garage, expansive deck, and double lot totaling over 12,000 square feet offer privacy, space, and a peaceful forest setting.Enjoy all that Sudden Valley has to offer, including trails, parks, golf, Lake Whatcom access, and a welcoming community just minutes from your doorstep. This is an estate sale and is sold as-is, presenting a rare opportunity to own a thoughtfully built home in one of Bellingham’s most distinctive neighborhoods.
