Imagine building your dream home above the city, surrounded by mature trees, beautiful landscaping, & sweeping views of Bellingham Bay. Tucked into the hillside in Bellingham's Puget Hill neighborhood, this remarkable property offers a sense of privacy that's hard to find so close to everything. Meandering walking trails & multiple patio areas create a peaceful, park-like setting. Much of the groundwork has already been done, including plans by local firm ANC Design for a 3,300 sqft. custom home designed to capture the property's west-facing views. Engineering, geotechnical, stormwater, arborist, & critical area reports are complete, along with a 2024 survey with marked property corners. No mapped wetlands, & GeoTest supports the proposed residential construction. City water & sewer are on site, along with an existing stormwater drainage ditch. Home plans are prepared for City submission, with construction possible once required permits & approvals are obtained. Additional development potential may include one to two additional homes & detached ADUs under Bellingham's updated middle housing regulations, subject to City confirmation & approval. Just minutes from downtown Bellingham, Fairhaven, waterfront parks, & everyday conveniences, this is an opportunity to create something truly special in a setting that already feels like your own private retreat.
