A flat & sunny bicycle pedal from downtown finds you at this 5-bedroom oasis framed in greenery at the edge of Bellingham. Escape to this fully-fenced informal setting at the end of a private lane, with food-bearing gardens in full bloom and plenty of decking and lawn for backyard hangings out. Handsome, modern NW Craftsman home is built around the greatroom w/ generous dining area and huge kitchen w/ tons of cabinet & counter space. Upstairs find primary suite w/ vaulted ceilings and walk-in closet, versatile bonus room/5th bed, and even a true laundry room w/ utility sink! Super usable ground floor mud space has access to the backyard and the oversized garage offers adjustable overhead storage. Don’t forget the insulated detached artist studio or the garden shed. It's all here: main-floor office w/ French doors and southern comfort shutters; natural gas fireplace w/ mantle; inviting, south-facing front porch; and crazy-productive greenhouse. All a short walk to the trails and beaches of the 98225.
