Perched on sought-after South Hill with sweeping Bellingham Bay views, this 4-bedroom, 2-bath home blends timeless character with thoughtful updates and over $100K in recent improvements. The main level features a spacious primary suite with attached bath, original hardwood floors, coffered ceilings, oversized windows, and a classic brick fireplace with gas insert. Upstairs offers three additional bedrooms and an updated full bath. Extensive improvements include new kitchen appliances, fresh interior paint, new carpet upstairs, upgraded 200-amp electrical service, and additional system updates. The 800+ sq. ft. partially finished basement provides flexible space for a media room, gym, workshop, home office, or future expansion. Outside, enjoy a fenced backyard, mature landscaping, pergola, patio, retaining wall, stairs, and an expansive side deck perfect for taking in the views. Potential for a DADU or detached studio offers even more possibilities (buyer to verify), while the detached 2-car garage provides valuable parking and storage. Just blocks from Fairhaven's shops, restaurants, parks, trails, and waterfront, with beautiful views of Bellingham Bay, Lummi Island, Orcas Island, and the passing Alaska Ferry. A rare opportunity to enjoy the charm, views, and convenience of South Hill living.
