This thoughtfully designed single-floor living space showcases an open floor plan that seamlessly integrates the living area with the kitchen. The focal point of the living room is a sleek, tiled fireplace with a modern gold trim, adding both warmth and sophistication to the space. Above the fireplace, a collection of four framed animal prints adds a touch of personality and visual interest to the neutral walls. The plush carpeting in the living area provides comfort underfoot, while the transition to what appears to be tile or hardwood in the kitchen area defines the separate functional spaces. The kitchen features a white breakfast bar with seating for at least two, perfect for casual dining or entertaining. Pendant lighting over the bar area enhances the modern aesthetic. Natural light floods the room through vertical blinds, likely covering a sliding glass door or large window, brightening the space and contributing to the airy atmosphere. The ceiling-mounted light fixtures in both the living area and kitchen provide additional illumination options. The color palette is predominantly neutral, with white walls and ceilings creating a clean, expansive feel. This design choice allows for versatile decorating options and accentuates the openness of the floor plan. The overall ambiance strikes a balance between contemporary design and comfortable living, making it an inviting space for both relaxation and social gatherings.

Fairhaven, a National Historic District, began as Fairhaven Village around 1880. It is located along Bellingham Bay on the southwest side of Western Washington University. Fairhaven is a terrific location for boaters, home to San Jan Cruises, Zodiac Sailing Schooner, and the Fairhaven Shipyard. Marine Park, located on the bay, includes a picnic area and a beach for launching kayaks. The Lower Padden Creek and Larrabee Trail leads from the park, through Fairhaven, and toward Larrabee State Park.
With its Victorian architecture, art galleries and boutiques, restaurants, pubs, and cafes, Fairhaven is a charming, fun-filled, walkable district. Fairhaven holds events year-round, including the Polar Bear Plunge at Birch Bay in January, the Recreation Northwest Expo in February, the Spring Craft & Antique Show in March, Bellingham Beer Week in April, to the Bellingham Festival of Music and the Northwest Raspberry Festival in July.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
