About This Home

As of July 2024

Welcome to 1520 Lowell Ave! Nestled on a large parklike lot, this 3BD/1.75BA single level home is perfectly located close to everything, but far enough to give it that secluded, private feel. Close to I-5, shopping, Lake Whatcom, World Class Galbraith Mountain, groceries, Whatcom Falls Park, trails, & so much more. Hard to beat this location! Hardwood floors & newer laminate throughout. New metal roof(home and carport) in 2019, recent interior & exterior paint. French doors off the primary bedroom, fully fenced back yard, detached garage/carport & tons of exterior storage! Set back off the road w/long driveway giving a super private & quiet feel. The recently added skylight lets in so much natural light!Mature landscaping & two large decks!
