About This Home

As of September 2025

Study the market & see how well we stack up against all the others! The location is beyond excellent, tree lined streets of character filled homes, easy freeway access, & bike lanes all the way downtown. This spacious 3 bedroom colonial has a foyer entry w/coat closet, original oak hardwood floors in living room, dining room, & bedrooms. The beautiful formal dining room w/ crown moldings is juxtaposed against a new & fashionable kitchen, for an amazing vibe. Bright accent wall, gold tone finishes, & modern cabinets add up to a great space. The office/den is very versatile. (but no c/a). Most rooms benefit from upgraded replacement windows. The upper level features all 3 generous sized bedrooms, as well as the beautifully remodeled full bath w/custom ceramic tile & it’s really nice. The lower level is mostly unfinished space that’s great for storage, or, with it’s egress window, a future new space! There are many newer mechanicals inc furnace, c/a, HWH, elec, plumbing, etc. the front yard is a native butterfly garden, the rear yard features a patio, as well as plenty of grass for playing. There is also an incredible 2 & 1/2 car cinderblock garage (w/newer door). Ferndale has so much to offer, great services, festivals, parks, neighbors & more. Make Home Here
