Property Description
Prepare to be smitten! This classic South Hill Craftsman is on a quiet street in one of Bellingham's best neighborhoods. Built in 1912, this beauty boasts all the charm you would expect, plus updates for modern living. You'll love the spacious kitchen with eating area; custom built-ins in living room flank a newer gas fireplace; updated bathrooms with custom cabinets and heated stone floor in main level bath! Built-in murphy bed/sofa in main level bedroom, with a cozy gas stove, offers maximum use for yourself and guests. The roof and 9KW Solar PV were installed in 2019; electric water heater (2020); and there's a double garage! The finished basement space has its own entrance and was just redone from the studs -- floor, walls, ceiling, electrical, lighting, vanities, refrigerator and freezer -- this would be a great ADU! Outside, the private backyard has new grassy area and landscaping, patio and "tree house." In the front, you'll be be enchanted by the fragrant peonies and wisteria draped across the front porch in the spring. Enjoy spectacular bay and island views from your master bedroom, spacious front porch, or upstairs deck. Plus: Just blocks to WWU campus, stairway down to Boulevard Park trail, between Fairhaven and Downtown.
