About This Home

As of July 2021

Mid Century Modern Architectural Gem! This 1957 George Bartholick designed home is one you have to see to truly appreciate its full beauty. Home is 2bd, 1ba, 1,230sf, floor to ceiling windows, milled wood ceilings and a gas fireplace. The property is sited on a hill off Yew St. which creates a very private setting on a large 11,000sf lot. If touched up and brought back to its true glory, this home will be one of Bellingham's most stunning Architectural Zen City Hideaways. The architect, George Bartholick, was born and raised in Bellingham and studied architecture at UW. Some of Bartholick's most notable work is the restoration of Pike Place Market (1974-1980). This home was his first residential work he built in 1957 for his mother, Ruth.
