Tucked away on 1.29 private, forested acres at the edge of Fairhaven, this distinctive 3-bedroom, 2-bath home offers a rare blend of nature, character, and convenience. Inside, you'll find warm hardwood floors, and a wood-burning stove on each level. The kitchen, updated in the past year, includes a high-end GE Cafe Range, a practical canning/butler's kitchen, and a chest freezer. Upstairs are 2 bedrooms plus a large room that could be a 3rd bedroom / primary suite or a living room. Nature is right outside your door, with lovely walking trails through the property connecting to Hoag's Pond and the Interurban Trail. Two outbuildings add even more versatility: an approximately 65 sq ft office/art studio with electric heat, plus a 270 sq ft finished cabin with a loft, heat, electricity, and no running water but does have a composting toilet-ideal for a creative retreat, guest space, or potential income-producing use. Enjoy the best of both worlds: a peaceful, wooded setting that feels worlds away, yet just minutes from Fairhaven, Western Washington University, parks, shopping, dining, and I-5. A unique opportunity to create your own private retreat in one of Bellingham's most sought-after areas.
