3073 Aldergrove Rd

Description

This countryside charmer has the best of both worlds. Buffered from the hustle and bustle by a fruit tree orchard on one side and protected agricultural land on the other, it's been fully upgraded while retaining the serene rural vibe Whatcom is famous for. Sit out in the back lawn pavilion and gaze out towards Lummi Island in the distance or pick cherries and apples in the front yard during harvest time. The lot is over an acre, plenty of room for your imagination to run. Expand the yard, add a garden or simply enjoy the breathing room that's increasingly hard to find. As you make your way inside, you'll see the exterior is built to last with durable metal roof, chimney cap, gutter guards and recently painted Hardie siding. Inside is equally balanced; the early century charm remains but with all the major systems remodeled. The plumbing and electrical have been brought up to speed and water heater, furnace, stove and washer/dryer are all new in the last 5 years. Beyond that you'll see extra touches like radiant heat primary bathroom floor and timeless cherry hardwood floors. The surrounding community rounds out the picture perfectly. The property is bordered on two sides by dairy land that is safe from development. Downtown Ferndale's shops and dining, the tranquility of Lake Terrell, and the refreshing ocean breeze of Birch Bay State Park are all within ten minutes. If you're looking for old world sturdiness with a modern touch, look no further.
