Some properties check boxes, this one will rewrite them. A true legacy property with a 1922 silhouette, this classic Bellingham farmhouse has the kind of bones that simply don’t build anymore. But step inside and the 2010 Sid Nesbit remodel reveals something else entirely: a high-functioning luxury home where the Bay views follow you from room to room. Luxurious water view acreage in Bellingham with an ADU?! You get your pantry, walk-in closets, storage, great flow, even views from the kitchen sink. The home’s footprint is exceptionally rare: 5 true bedrooms, an office, and a studio--all of which could be used as bedrooms. An integrated elevator removes the barriers of multi-level living, connecting the one-step entrance to the primary suite and its own private deck overlooking the bay. For those who need a world within a world, the attached ADU delivers complete autonomy. Separated by three physical doors and equipped with its own entrance, kitchen, laundry, bedroom, and bathroom, it works as a guest or office suite or even a source of rental income. It has the views too. The grounds are fully fenced and could easily harbor a good-sized hobby farm w/ a chicken coop and fruit orchard, plus room for boat & RV parking. Horse property potential! Paid-off solar panels provide nearly non-existent power bills. Freshly updated in 2024 with new exterior paint, this is a rare home that offers everything at once: scale, substance, views, and land--with a century of character baked in.
