Gem in the Heart of Bellingham - Walk to WWU, Downtown and Waterfront | Cottage in Bellingham

1 Bedroom Cottage in York, Bellingham
Nestled in a historic neighborhood, this newly built cottage has all modern features. It's a short walk to downtown shops, restaurants and brew pubs or through the Arboretum to Western Washington University. Easy access to Bellingham’s extensive trails, parks, and the waterfront. Hop in your car, and it’s an easy drive to skiing or hiking around Mt. Baker. Looking for urban life? Seattle is just an hour and a half drive. Across the border in Canada, Vancouver is just 50 miles away.
Sehome Hill Arboretum, a 165-acre forested park with 6 miles of winding trails, is just up the street. Beyond the Arboretum, Western Washington University’s campus stretches over the top of the hill. All around are vistas with views of Mt. Baker, Bellingham Bay, and the San Juan Islands.

The space
Sehome Cottage is all new, but when we set out to build the cottage, along with our main house and studio, we were attentive to the architecture of the surrounding Historic Sehome Hill Neighborhood. All three buildings are situated around a common courtyard garden. The garden supports variety of native flowers, grasses and trees, and since deer and rabbits roam the neighborhood, you might encounter few visitors.
Inside the Cottage, you’ll find a comfortable, open-plan home with up-to-date amenities. The full kitchen is outfitted with all the basics to cook full meals or to serve take-out. With smart TV and high-speed Wi-Fi, you can connect with work or relax to your choice of entertainment. Open the large sliding doors to the outside and take in the sounds of birds and swaying trees. But just in case the weather turns hot, central AC keeps the house cool. Step towards the back of the cottage, and the bedroom occupies a quiet corner with room-darkening shades and a comfortable queen. The bathroom is roomy and efficient, with a large walk-in shower and plenty of storage.
A dedicated parking spot lies along one side of the Cottage, a few steps away from the private entrance, and an automatic light illuminates your path after dark
Guest access
Guests will have the exclusive use of the entire cottage.
The property is shared with the owners who live in the main house, but the spaces are separate with different entrances. You will see us gardening and going about our day. We are friendly and helpful if needed.
