Thoughtfully cared for and full of charm, this 1920s home offers character, function, and an unbeatable location near the waterfront. Situated in the Birchwood neighborhood near Bellingham Technical College, with easy access to trails leading to Little Squalicum Pier, this home blends lifestyle and convenience. Welcoming front porch entry with a functional mudroom leads into a light-filled living room featuring fir floors, wainscoting, and a custom wood mantel with brick and tile gas fireplace. The kitchen is built for a chef with high-quality stainless steel appliances, stainless backsplash, granite counters, abundant cabinetry, built-in pantry, and recessed lighting. The back of the home opens to a spacious family room with vaulted ceilings, expansive windows for natural light, bamboo flooring, and a second gas fireplace. Two large sliding doors lead to multiple outdoor living spaces, including a private Trex deck with live-edge bench and gazebo, plus a second partially covered deck overlooking a low-maintenance yard with raised garden beds. Main level bedroom and a freshly updated bathroom. Upstairs features warm wood-wrapped ceilings, a custom half bath, and additional flex space ideal for a sitting area or hobbies. Exterior highlights include a newer roof, Hardie siding, multiple decks, fully fenced yard, gorgeous mature landscaping, and a detached garage with 200 amp service. Opportunities like this are hard to find-don't miss it.
