224 Forest Lane Overview

Visits:
0

Perched on a quiet South Hill lane, this timeless Mid-Century Modern home captures sweeping west-facing views of Bellingham Bay, the marina, city skyline, San Juan Islands, and Canadian coastal mountains beyond. Built in 1961, the spacious rambler with daylight basement was thoughtfully designed to maximize natural light, privacy, and the ever-changing waterfront scenery from nearly every room. Large picture windows frame stunning sunsets while preserving a peaceful sense of separation from neighboring homes. The generous front deck and porch create ideal spaces for relaxing or entertaining while taking in the panoramic bay views. Inside, the home offers classic Mid-Century character with incredible potential to restore, reimagine, or create your dream South Hill retreat. The oversized lot features mature landscaping, colorful seasonal blooms, and a tucked-away setting rarely found this close to town. A detached one-car garage with additional storage below, plus extra off-street parking, provides excellent functionality. The property also extends toward S State Street, offering intriguing future possibilities for buyers to explore. Rarely does a property combine this level of view, privacy, location, and opportunity in one of Bellingham’s most sought-after neighborhoods. Conveniently located minutes from Fairhaven, Boulevard Park, downtown Bellingham, waterfront access, and trails leading to all of the aforementioned!
