Property Description
Spectacular Bellingham Bay views anchor this 1908 American Foursquare, now offered at a compelling price for South Hill. Perched above the water with sweeping vistas from Fairhaven to the San Juan Islands and the Canadian Coastal Range, this legacy home offers an exceptional setting just minutes to Fairhaven Village, parks, and trails.Classic architectural details—including leaded glass windows, box beam ceilings, and original millwork—reflect the home’s historic character, while key updates provide a solid foundation for comfortable living. A newer roof (2021), updated mechanicals, and prior kitchen and bath remodels allow for immediate enjoyment, with the opportunity to make additional updates over time. The main level offers warm, functional spaces including a chef’s kitchen, bright breakfast nook with view deck plumbed for BBQ, open dining area, living room, sunken sitting room with new carpet, and a light-filled library/office. Upstairs are three bedrooms, two updated baths, and a charming sun porch. The daylight lower level with private entrance and nearby ¾ bath provides flexibility for guests or extended living, while the top floor adds a fourth bedroom, half bath, and additional flex space. Includes 1,087 SF of basement space for storage or utility. A rare opportunity in South Hill to secure a view home with character, space, and value.
