Country in the city with room to think bigger. Set on a generous 10,454 sq ft lot at the end of a quiet dead-end street, this charming Lynden home offers something increasingly hard to find: space, privacy and compelling future ADU potential. Current City of Lynden regulations allow up to two ADUs with a detached single-family residence, subject to applicable development requirements and City approval. The expansive lot provides plenty of usable space to explore options for additional dwelling units, a garage/shop configuration or multigenerational living while retaining the existing home and yard. Remodeled down to the studs in 2005 with new insulation, siding and hickory cabinetry, the home also features updated appliances, wide-plank engineered hardwood floors, ductless mini-split/heat pump with A/C, freestanding gas fireplace, fresh interior paint and a new hot water tank. Outside, enjoy a fully fenced yard, patio, 8x12 garden shed, 14x16 workshop with lean-to, 220V power and heater, generator wiring, RV parking and carport. A unique opportunity to enjoy the property today while exploring what this oversized in-town lot could become tomorrow. Buyer to verify ADU and development possibilities with the City of Lynden.
