The space It is a lovely, private one bedroom house, walking distance to the Fairhaven historic district, about 900 sq. ft. built in 1992. The house is cozy, welcoming, and inviting, with high ceilings and an open floor plan. Everyone who has ever lived here has loved the place. It is well insulated making the house quiet and not subject to temperature swings. It also warms quickly and keeps in the warmth a long time. There are solar panels on the roof. There are mature plum and apple, and pear trees on the property. There is a tall evergreen laurel hedge along one length of the yard, a couple low stone walls, several rhododendrons, and a beautiful large mature madrona tree, which I planted thirty years ago. Deer wander in and out the yard, and I have bird feeders close to the kitchen and living room windows. There is a nice red brick charcoal grill for summer barbecues, and a comfy hammock availablefor warm afternoons and late summer evenings. Many people have stayed at the house for extended periods of long vacation time, extended family visits, or while searching for permanent homes in the area. We are close to Western Washington University and have accommodated academics and teachers visiting the area for work and research. Guest access The property has a large outbuilding near the parking area which has been used at various times as a workspace, yoga studio, a wood shop, and sporting gear storage building. The WiFi reaches it and it is now a work space and rec room with ping pong table, Euro recliner, and electric fireplace. The studio is an extension of the living space available at this home. The entire yard, house, and studio are yours as our guests. Other things to note Also, this area has exceptionally good air and water quality. We are always within the cooling marine air from the Salish Sea and close to the North Cascades. The Bellingham water supply originates from the Lake Whatcom and the glaciers of Mt. Baker.
