About This Home

As of December 2018

Well laid out 4 bedroom rambler on nearly an acre. With a recently updated kitchen and wood floors this home has a lot to offer. Minutes to both Ferndale and Bellingham it is in the perfect spot no matter where you work. There's a private deck off the master, a small landscape pond and plenty of room to spread your wings. There's also an old barn onsite that can be restored and would be perfect for a wood workers shop or a great place to store vintage cars. You should take a look at this.
