About this home
Set behind a picket fence across from Whatcom Falls Park, this three-bedroom Craftsman blends classic character with practical improvements. HardiePlank siding and cedar shingles finish the exterior. Inside, hardwood floors and built-in cabinetry add a warm touch throughout the home. The updated kitchen features granite countertops, plenty of workspace, and stainless-steel appliances. The main-floor primary bedroom has vaulted ceilings, an attached bath, and French doors that open to a large composite deck. Outside, the landscaped, fenced yard includes garden beds, fruit trees, and a patio with room for a fire pit or grill. A second concrete slab beside the garage is prewired for a future hot tub or sauna. An outbuilding in the southwest corner of the lot provides additional storage and could potentially be converted into a DADU. Recent work includes a new roof (2026); a new washer, dryer, refrigerator, and dishwasher (2025); and crawl-space cleaning and re-insulation (2024). This Whatcom Falls home is within half a mile of Lake Whatcom and Galbraith Mountain, where miles of trails are open for mountain biking and hiking. Head out for a ride or a hike right from home....
