About This Home

As of April 2023

Prime south Bellingham location for great schools and close to beautiful Fairhaven village, Lake Padden Recreation area, trails galore and Western Washington University. Spacious one-half acre lot in the city that feels like country living with a babbling creek, fruit trees and natural landscaping. The home is set up for dual residences with a private entrance to the second living space on the lower level with a full kitchen, bedroom, bathroom and laundry room. The main level has air conditioning. The unfinished space on the main floor could easily be transformed to add extra living space. Could be a great rental property or easily convert it back to a single family home. Built to last with metal roof and hardie board siding.
