About this home

Storybook curb appeal and classic Bellingham charm come together in this beautifully kept 4-bedroom, 2-bath home just blocks from the bay. Steep gables, a crisp stucco exterior and mature landscaping create a welcoming first impression, while inside, hardwood floors, oversized windows and a gas fireplace fill the home with warmth and character. The remodeled kitchen blends style and function with statement cabinetry, under-cabinet lighting, ceramic tile, abundant storage, an additional pantry and floor-to-ceiling cabinets, with all appliances included. From the kitchen, step directly onto the spacious back deck, where surrounding mature trees create a private setting for relaxing or entertaining. The main floor includes a bedroom and full bath, while upstairs you’ll find three additional bedrooms with charming gabled ceilings, skylights, generous closets, a cozy nook, a 5-piece full bath and bay views from select rooms. A 1-car garage with alley access, off-street parking, covered storage and a welcoming driveway add everyday convenience. With its easy-flowing floor plan, thoughtful updates, beautiful natural light and timeless character, this South Hill home is ready to be enjoyed inside and out. Take advantage of a seller-paid credit equal to 1% of the purchase price that may be used toward an interest rate buy-down, subject to lender approval.
