3905 Idaho Street Bellingham, WA 98229

Welcome to 3905 Idaho St! 1st time on the market in over 90 years, this charming estate is situated on 2 acres and nicely tucked back off the road for privacy.

Gorgeous side and back view of the home with meticulous detailing on the brickwork. This home has a stately feel without being pretentious. It is a place you'll love to call home.

Eastside view of home highlights the beautiful brick and granite that were used in the original build. Detached garage and Cottage ADU are located to the right of this photo.

Overhead view shows the shape of the 2 acre property, layout of the house, garage, and Cottage ADU. Roofs were recently cleaned after this photo. House roof new in 2018!

The lush, mature landscaping surrounding this property creates a picturesque setting for this charming 1917 character home. There are also a couple orchard areas with fruit trees.

This property even has an orchard! Fruit trees in two areas of the property.

The sun streams into this property creating magical warmth and comfort inside and out.

Imagine warm summer evenings spent on the huge covered front porch, taking in the peaceful views of the surrounding gardens. Swings and rockers will beckon you to relax and enjoy time with loved ones.

Step inside, where you'll notice the wall of windows that fill this entryway with natural light.

This expansive living room accommodates many guests for all your gatherings with the gas fireplace and built-in's as the centerpiece. Living Room is open to the Dining Room.

You’ll find beautiful wood trim and detailed millwork throughout the home, a warm reminder of the craftsmanship and charm of classic character homes—a true art that's rare to find today.

Lots of windows bring in so much natural light.

The large dining room comes complete with the original built-in hutch to store all your formal dishes, platters, silverware, and drawers for linens. Display shelves behind glass makes a nice focal point. On the wall are original blueprints for house and garden plans. So much history here.

Another view looking from the kitchen that really shows how large the dining area is!

This lovely patio is reminiscent of an old English Tea Garden and was thoughtfully placed overlooking views of the perrenial gardens.

Such a cozy space to enjoy and it’s protected from the wind.

In addition to the large formal dining room, the spacious kitchen provides a comfortable place for casual meals, with storage beneath the charming window seats. Sunlight fills every corner of the home, highlighting the warmth and character brought by the abundance of windows throughout.

This kitchen offers abundant cupboard space and generous countertops, giving even the most accomplished chefs plenty of room to create and entertain with ease.

So many cupboards and a sea of countertops!

This door to the right, just off the kitchen, leads you to the enclosed back entry often used as a mudroom and a pantry or storage.

More cupboards! The door on the right leads to the stairs going up.

This large room off of the entryway was the original office for the Lumber Mill. To the left, you'll find the original wall safe, as this is where employees of the mill came to pick up their checks. This photo truly exemplifies the large trim work seen throughout the home that is a rare find these days! This room and the hallway have bamboo flooring.

In this main floor bedroom, the old safe is seen here next to the door to the old "Office". This has been an office, a bedroom, could be a den, music room, play room. So many possibilities.

Main floor bathroom with separate tub and shower.

Main floor bathroom with shower access shown.

This extra large bedroom #3 upstairs really showcases the beautiful original wood floors.

Spacious feel and closets at both ends of the room.

This 4th bedroom upstairs has had carpet over these wood floors for years. What a difference it makes taking out the old carpet! Love the wall of windows.

Fifth bedroom upstairs could be used as an office, art, music or play room, nursery, storage, or reading nook with a lovely view. Small closet on the right has a laundry shute!

Another view of the east side of the home, and the garage at the end of the driveway. Continue past the garage to the Cottage ADU to the right.

Go for a walk on the property and you'll find this storybook view of the house.
