About This Home

As of August 2025

Downtown Ferndale! Just a short walk to all the restaurants, shops, and events that make this vibrant city so desirable. This charming 1921 vintage bungalow welcomes you with a slate-tiled foyer that opens into a stunning beamed great room, complete with dramatic split rail and brick fireplace, oak hardwood floors, and soaring ceilings. The updated kitchen features a glass tile backsplash and exposed brick accent wall, combining modern style with classic charm.

The full bath has been beautifully remodeled with a custom wood vanity and bowl sink. Both bedrooms are generously sized, with hardwood floors in one. The freshly painted and updated basement includes a second full bath, glass block windows, and offers plenty of versatile living or storage space. Enjoy relaxing on the front sitting porch or entertaining on the rear brick paver patio overlooking a large, fenced backyard with a storage shed. Newer central air adds comfort and convenience. This thoughtfully updated home puts you right in the heart of downtown Ferndale—make home here.
