Property Description

A remarkable piece of Bellingham history, 427 N Garden Street is a circa-1906 Neoclassical residence built by E.T. Nobles, a prominent local wood-mill owner. Perched above the city with sweeping Bellingham Bay views, this exceptional 6,000-square-foot home showcases extraordinary craftsmanship, original millwork, and architectural details rarely found today. Rich wood paneling, intricate decorative ceilings, period lighting, hardwood floors, and custom Bradbury & Bradbury wallpaper create an atmosphere of timeless character. Formal living and dining rooms, a wood-paneled library, sunroom, and expansive water-view kitchen provide gracious spaces for everyday living and entertaining. The home's extraordinary ballroom offers a flexible gathering and recreation space with beautiful wood floors, extensive woodwork, and its own distinctive personality. The current owners have thoughtfully updated the home while preserving its historic character. Improvements include a reimagined kitchen and breakfast nook, new main-level half bath, newer boiler, updated lighting and plumbing fixtures, refinished wood floors, second-level laundry, added pantry storage, and an extensive retaining wall reinforcing the grounds. Mature gardens, covered outdoor spaces, and multiple terraces surround the residence. Water views unfold from multiple levels, while the home's exceptional scale, original craftsmanship, and beautifully preserved details offer a rare glimpse into Bellingham's architectural past.
