About the Neighborhood

This home is only a short walk to the Ferndale Library and downtown Ferndale. There are views of the valley floor and mountains to the south and east. And there's plenty of undeveloped open space to explore.
 
Ferndale sits on the banks of the Nooksack River and is only 2 exits (about 4 miles) north of Bellingham WA. Ferndale is the third largest city (town) in Whatcom County behind #2 Lynden and #1 Bellingham. 
 
Ferndale was founded in the 1870's and was originally built around the logging industry. In fact Ferndale's original name was "Jam" after a huge log jam that often occurred in the Nooksack River near where downtown Ferndale exists today. However the first school teacher in the area thought a more aesthetic name would be better so he promoted the name Ferndale after the ferns that grew around the school house and the name stuck. Soon agriculture became a significant economic engine for the area.
 
Ferndale was officially incorporated in 1907.
 
Today Ferndale is the home of much of Whatcom County's new construction with several recent and brand new subdivisions. Home prices are generally less than the same home in Bellingham proper.
 

More details

This is an Unruh Constructed home in the Mountain View Meadows sub division off of Mountain View Rd (Main Street) in Ferndale WA.
 
 

This home was built in 2013 and is built on a cul de sac with zero through traffic.  Here's just a few points of what makes a home a few years old, better than a brand new home:

1. What settling is going to happen has happend and there are no settling cracks in the sheet rock or garage floor. When you buy a brand new home you buy and "hope" there a no significant settling cracks that show up after the typical one year builder warranty expires. This home simply has stood the test of time (6 years) and it doesn't have any settling cracks.

2. The home comes with all major appliances - microwave hood, stove, dishwasher, refrigerator, disposal, and front loader washer and dryer. Many new homes only have the stove, dishwasher and micorwave hood.

3. Fully landscaped front and back with a fully fenced back yard. Most new homes don't have much lanscaping and often only in the front. Rarely do they come with a fully fenced back yard.

4. A back sun deck in addition to the covered back patio. The sun deck is an addition.

5. Much of the off gassing from the new construction materials has already occurred.

6. This home has upgraded honeycomb bottom-up and top down functioning miniblinds. Most new construction have no window treatments.

7. This home has all the towel racks and shower rods & curtains installed. New homes do not.

So buying a newer but not brand new home often saves a buyer $1,000's of dollars. In this case with all of the above, the cost do install all of the above was well over $10,000.  While it is fun to buy a brand new home you can save thousands by finding a resale home that is ready to move in.
