Nine acres changes things. There’s room for the shop you actually use. Room for animals, gardens and projects that don’t have to fit neatly into a postage stamp lot. Room to breathe. And here, you get it all without trading away the convenience of being 15 mins to Bellingham. Offered by it's original owners, this property has been thoughtfully cared for over the years. Open pasture gives way to wooded privacy. Mature apple trees form an established orchard. An abundance of parking for friends, and all your toys. And the 36x40+ detached shop—with a separate workroom and interior RV parking—is already here and ready for whatever you put it to work doing. At the center of it all is a 1,933 sqft single-level home with 3 bed/ 3 bath. The layout is generous where it matters: vaulted ceilings and skylights, a large walk-in pantry off the kitchen, mudroom connecting to the attached 2-car garage, breakfast nook opening to the back patio, formal dining room, A/C and a private primary suite. The home has recently been refreshed with interior paint and newly painted cedar siding, and there’s more to be done. Perhaps that’s where the opportunity is. Instead of paying for someone else’s choices, you’re starting with the acreage, the shop, the setting and a solid home—and deciding for yourself what happens next. Private, practical and remarkably well-positioned, with Bellingham just minutes away. The next vision of this property hasn't been written yet - that part is up to you!
