This 2013-built Northwest Contemporary in the Skyview neighborhood gives you the room most rentals at this price just don't have. Open-concept main floor with a spacious kitchen that flows into the living room built for hosting holidays, hosting friends, or just hosting Wednesday-night pizza. Mudroom off the garage with full-size washer and dryer means muddy boots and gym bags don't make it past the door.
Upstairs, four bedrooms plus a huge upstairs family room/bonus space that easily functions as a fifth bedroom, home office, gym, or playroom. (Important: the home is legally permitted as 4 bedrooms the upstairs bonus room is not a code-defined bedroom but is being marketed as a versatile 5th room because of its size and use case. Take the tour and decide for yourself.) Storage everywhere. Closet space, linen space, real space not the "where do we even put the vacuum" kind of place. Outside, a covered patio for year-round PNW outdoor living and a fully fenced backyard for kids, dogs, or a garden you've been meaning to start. Sits on a corner lot with a generous front yard.
Easy commute minutes to I-5 Exit 260, quick to Bellingham, the Canadian border, and Mt. Baker. Ferndale School District.
