First time on the market in over 25 years, with modern updates throughout! This house has been meticulously maintained - and it shows! Tucked in a quiet cul-de-sac in the desirable Northern Heights Neighborhood, between Silver Beach and Barkley, you have the best of Bellingham right at your doorstep. A community trail just a block away leads you to Northridge Park and the Klipsun/Railroad trail system. Inside the house, you will immediately appreciate the A/C on these warm summer days. The spacious living room boasts expansive views of Squalicum Mtn. with a cozy fireplace to gather around on those cooler months. The kitchen underwent an extensive renovation and is a chef's dream with top-of-the-line appliances, and a large window looking out to the beautifully manicured backyard that feels more like a private park. With a primary bedroom suite this nice, you'll never want to leave, complete with an ensuite bathroom and sliding glass door that leads you to the backyard, spacious deck and private hot tub. Two more bedrooms and a full bath are located on the main floor. Downstairs, you will find a HUGE bonus room along with a full bathroom and the laundry room. This bonus room is the perfect flex space for a rec room/guest suite/possible MIL suite - the choice is yours! This is a rare opportunity to own such a well-cared-for home, with a larger lot, in such a lovely community at this price. Start living your best PNW life now!
