Welcome to 1315 Whatcom St., an immaculate, updated, air-conditioned, ONE-LEVEL home in the gated Bellingham community of Pacific Woods. This 3-bed, 2-full-bath home features over 1500 sq. ft. of airy, freshly repainted, comfortable space. Enjoy vaulted ceilings, warm wide-plank oak floors throughout, plantation shutters, shaker style hinges & handles, & an impressive pride of ownership. An office or guest BR sits just off the front entry. Step down the short hall to the spacious kitchen with breakfast dining space, stainless LG appliances, a fully shelved pantry. Take your meal outside the 240 sq. ft. tiled patio, or host dinners in the formal dining area. The adjacent oversized living room creates endless options for entertaining or spending relaxed days at home. The Primary Suite will easily accomodate your kingsize bed & full furniture set, while the walk-in closet & full bath make your every-day needs pleasantly luxurious. An additional guest BR, full bath, & laundry room with included appliances are the hub around which the interior layout is centered. Store your vehicles, tool & toys in the attached 2-car garage, & enjoy peace of mind thanks to the auto-on back-up generator. This extremely well-cared-for home is unique in that it benefits from the security of a gated neighborhood, but is NOT technically part of the HOA. Dues are just $65/mo. No age restrictions, no problem long-term renting it. Just 1/4 mile to Whole Foods, banking, dining & easy I-5 access.
