Description

Spectacular Bellingham Bay views set the stage for this iconic 1908 American Foursquare, a true South Hill legacy home perched above the water with sweeping vistas from Fairhaven to the San Juan Islands and the Canadian Coastal Range. Located in one of Bellingham’s most coveted neighborhoods, South Hill is known for its friendly community & walkability to Fairhaven Village, parks, trails, and amenities. Period details—including leaded glass windows, box beam ceilings, and original millwork—highlight the home’s historic character while blending w/ thoughtful updates. Major improvements include a roof replacement in 2021, updated mechanicals, and prior kitchen and bath remodels. The main level features a chef’s kitchen, sun-filled breakfast nook with view deck plumbed for BBQ, open dining area, living room, sunken sitting room with new carpet, and a beautiful library/office retreat with period millwork and natural light. Upstairs are three bedrooms, two updated baths, and a charming sun porch. The daylight lower level with private entrance and nearby ¾ bath offers flexibility for guest quarters or extended living, complete w/ gas fireplace, oak floors, and deck. The top floor adds a fourth bedroom, 1/2 bath, and flex space. In addition, the home includes 1,087 SF of basement space, offering exceptional room for storage, hobbies, and utility. A rare opportunity to own a piece of South Hill’s architectural history—classic, substantial, and irreplaceable in a premier view setting.
