About This Home

As of September 2017

What a view of Mt. Baker and the Three Sisters right out your back door! On a very quiet street tucked into the back side of Birchwood facing a lightly used city trail with the newer Squalicum Park below that. Have your own urban oasis with peach, Asian Pear, and apple trees plus prolific blueberry bushes. Daikin RXn24 heat and A/C pump in 2013. Brand new marmoleum in kit. & bath; new greenhouse window and disposal in kitchen. Breezeway recently enclosed and new portico over back door. A find!
