About This Home

As of August 2020

Love Anita's Kitchen...then look no further. 7 houses away in the heart of downtown Ferndale sits this charming and inviting home. Literally just steps from all the fun and excitement of downtown Ferndale. These homeowners are truly sad to leave. They love sitting and reading in the upstairs library, lined with shelves for books and instruments. Could also be used as a 3rd bedroom. The open kitchen gives way into a formal dining room and cozy living room with fireplace. And the enclosed front porch is perfect for evening enjoyment of this great neighborhood. While the backyard is just as enjoyable with deck, patio and beautiful landscaping. Main floor has 2 large bedrooms with new corn based non toxic carpeting and updated bath with jetted tub. Partially finished basement adds additional living space and a half bath. Home also has some new windows. Come quick because this one is going to go fast!
ALL ENTERING PROPERTY MUST USE HAND SANITIZER, WEAR A MASK AND REMOVE SHOES.
