Set on nearly 9 acres of county land, this thoughtfully updated property is the real deal. With panoramic views of the Mt. Baker foothills and the Canadian Cascades, the home boasts a gorgeous cherry blossom display in April. Come July, you can pick sweet Rainier Cherries from the primary suite deck. This home was remodeled down to the studs in most areas: radiant heat, AC, an ERV system, and state-of-the-art water filtration, plus updated electrical, plumbing, and windows. The chef's kitchen features a wrap-around, walk-in pantry, dual zone wine cooler, dual level kitchen island, and a 36” Wolf 6 burner cook range and oven with integrated digital thermometer - along with custom cabinetry and a paneled, counter-depth Bosch refrigerator and freezer. The home's lower level is plumbed and wired for a potential second kitchen, as well. Additional features include an ensuite bathroom with sunrise and sunset views from a curbless shower, Kohler rain head shower system, 66” slipper tub, and custom tiling throughout. There's a massive shop, horse barn, sauna, and a detached gym / flex space that would make an incredible artist studio. Plant lovers will especially appreciate the attached solarium, a bright, year-round spot to grow just about anything. Only six miles outside of Bellingham on the Mt Baker Scenic Byway, and a four minute drive to the historic Rome Store, the property additionally abuts Lee Way, opening the door to additional access and future expansion.
