Property Description
Classic 1924 charm meets modern convenience! Skip the condo rules and HOA dues—this standalone single-family home offers a rare, accessible opportunity to own a private piece of Bellingham in a highly desirable neighborhood with a great school district. Bursting with vintage character, the interior showcases refinished original hardwood floors paired with brand-new interior paint throughout for a light, crisp, and move-in-ready feel. Big-ticket improvements provide total peace of mind, including a roof installed in fall of 2020 and a new hot water tank. The open main level offers a seamless flow through the airy living area, kitchen, and full bath, complemented by smart built-in storage between bedrooms. Upstairs, discover a versatile bonus finished attic space (not included in total square footage)—an ideal layout for a quiet home office, creative studio, or extra storage. Step through the sliding glass doors onto the side deck and relax in your private, fully fenced yard, complete with outdoor storage sheds. Features off-street parking for 4+vehicles or an RV. Unbeatable proximity to local shopping, dining, bus routes, hospital and beyond quick I-5 access. A cozy, character-rich gem.
