145 47th Street, Bellingham, WA 98229

Property Description

A rare opportunity to own a view property in Bellingham’s Puget Hill neighborhood. Perched above the city with sweeping panoramic bay and territorial views, this expansive lot offers outstanding potential for a custom home or strategic development in one of Bellingham’s most desirable hillside locations. The property comes with completed plans for a 3,300 sq. ft. custom residence designed by respected local firm ANC Design. Utilities are available at the site and road, and extensive pre-development work is already complete—including geotechnical, stormwater, arborist, and critical area reports. The custom home plans are ready for submission to the City of Bellingham. Buyers are encouraged to verify additional development options under Bellingham’s updated middle housing regulations, which may allow for greater density such as a 6-plex or two detached single-family homes with ADUs (subject to city approval). Thoughtfully enhanced with mature landscaping, a seasonal creek, walking trails, and multiple patio areas, the property feels like a secluded private park. Just minutes from downtown Bellingham, Fairhaven, shopping, dining, and waterfront access, it perfectly balances seclusion with convenience. A 2024 survey with clearly marked corners is also available. This is a unique combination of location, views, completed planning, and long-term flexibility—ideal for a luxury custom build, development, or investment.
