Protected west-facing views over Samish Bay define this restored 1910 homestead in historic Blanchard. Set on 1.81 acres with no adjoining neighbors, the home offers privacy and a front-row seat to the changing light over the bay. Watch eagles glide above the slough behind the property, paragliders descend from Blanchard Mountain and sunsets linger over the water. More than $200,000 in renovations bring modern comfort to the three-bedroom home while preserving its historic character. A main-level primary suite offers a quiet retreat, and the remodeled upper level provides space for guests or a home office. Relocated to its current setting in 2007, the home sits on a modern foundation with a six-foot crawl space. Updated windows and a heat pump with A/C add year-round comfort, and a detached garage offers covered parking and additional storage. Enjoy the quiet of Blanchard with nearby Edison's bakeries, restaurants and galleries within easy reach and Bellingham a drive north for dining, shopping and everyday amenities. Previous county approval for an ADU, with an address still in place, offers potential for a guest cottage or multigenerational living. Buyer to verify current requirements.
