About this property.
Tucked among towering evergreens in the rolling hills of South Bellingham, this beautifully updated and historically significant Chuckanut Drive home offers a rare blend of privacy, character, and opportunity. Backing directly to the city’s beloved Hundred Acre Wood park, with miles of scenic trails just beyond your property line, this serene retreat feels worlds away while remaining minutes from Fairhaven. Originally designed in 1938 by Chicago stage actress Carolyn Pearse Muscutt, the home was thoughtfully crafted with distinctive charm and personality that still shine today. Warm wood floors, abundant natural light, and a cozy wood-burning fireplace create an inviting atmosphere, while the main-level primary suite opens directly to an expansive deck overlooking lush gardens and peaceful natural surroundings. Upstairs, three additional bedrooms and added bath space provide flexibility for guests, multi-generational living, or home office needs. Recent updates include a brand-new roof, updated kitchen and baths, efficient heat pump, expanded deck, and modernized systems, all carefully integrated to preserve the home’s unique legacy. Additional features: Carport, partially finished basement Possible 2nd home/ADU. Rich in local history, lovingly maintained across four generations, and positioned in one of Bellingham’s most iconic natural settings, this exceptional property offers the chance to own not just a home, but a true Chuckanut legacy.
