About This Home

As of December 2021

Located on a 11,000 sq ft lot in the desired Fairhaven area, this almost original two story 1926 Craftsman home is looking for that buyer who loves high ceilings, large rooms, and plenty of 1920's character, but understands that it does need some TLC, to bring this home into the 21st century! They say, location is the rule in real estate, this location is beyond special! Why? Because it is located just a short walk into the heart of Historic Fairhaven's shops, breweries, pubs, restaurants, waterfront, salon & spas, business services, and is adjacent to Bellingham's trails and park system. Picture yourself less reliant on your car, but using just your feet, or your bicycle to get around, maybe it's time to say hello to a new way of living!
