Welcome to a unique and inspired home, remodeled by a talented architect, now newly refinished in every aspect. Vaulted pinewood ceilings in living room, dining room & loft bring a warm and uplifting mood. Skylights, window box details and rich fir trim throughout add light and warmth. From floors to roof, all is new including furnace, bathroom & full kitchen remodel w/SS appliances. Special attention to lighting means the home is bright & warm in all seasons. Three bedrooms + a bonus loft space offer many options. Large windows look out on the sky & garden, and the finished (115 sq ft) loft gives a bird's eye view of the private landscape. On shy of a half acre, the yard features a park-like mature rhododendron forest & colonized plants along a winter creek. There's a perfect spot for a garden in good sun, right off the new deck. The mature landscaping means time in the garden is spent on fun projects, or just relaxing. Enjoy the tranquility of exceptional privacy, while just minutes from town. The adjacent forests are at base of Galbraith Mt, providing recreation and deep privacy into the future. The home is set back from the road, with an extra-thick front wall for enhanced sound insulation. Single garage + parking for 5 in driveway & space for a shop. First house outside city limits, giving advantages of a County residence and City proximity. A traffic revision is planned and approved to bring slower traffic and more crosswalks for your walk to nearby Whatcom Falls Park.
