About This Home

As of December 2022

A true Bellingham gem, this spacious renovated home will wow you inside and out. What's more, you're in an absolutely legendary location. Situated on a dead end street, you are right around the corner from Whatcom Falls Park, Lafeen's Donuts, and the city's elite trail system. Head the other direction and you're approaching Galbraith, the coveted mountain-biking destination. Lake Whatcom is only a short jaunt away as well. A large driveway and traditional curb appeal present a comforting entrance to a comfortable home. 4 bedrooms and 2 living areas are hard to come by, let alone within a fresh remodel. Extra storage room and epoxy floor garage will fit all of your adventure toys while leaving room to park and tinker. This is the one!
