Set on one of the prettiest streets of South Hill, this beautifully maintained mid-century home blends timeless NW character with sweeping views of Bellingham Bay and the San Juan Islands. Over $300,000 has been thoughtfully invested in the home's infrastructure and professionally designed landscaping. While much of the work has been behind the walls and throughout the grounds, the result is a well cared for home, ready for years of maintenance free enjoyment. Inside, the thoughtfully updated kitchen, solid wood windows/doors, and oak hardwood floors create a warm and inviting atmosphere. The living room is anchored by an updated gas fireplace and flows seamlessly into the dining area, where French doors open to a spacious west-facing deck, an ideal setting for entertaining or enjoying spectacular sunsets over the bay. The lower level offers flexibility with a separate entrance, updated 3/4 bath, 3rd bedroom, laundry room, storage room, home gym and large family room. A standing seam metal roof, off-street parking, and the opportunity to convert part of the lower level back into an ADU add to the home's versatility and value. Ideally situated just moments from Fairhaven, Lowell Elementary, Taylor Dock, Boulevard Park, and miles of scenic trails, this is a rare opportunity to own a thoughtfully stewarded South Hill home where classic mid-century design is matched by an extraordinary commitment to long-term quality.
