About This Home
As of February 2026Welcome to this thoughtfully updated ranch set on a rare double lot in the heart of Ferndale. Inside, you’ll find a bright and inviting layout with hardwood flooring throughout most of the main level, while the spacious primary bedroom features cozy carpeting for added comfort. The kitchen was remodeled in recent years and includes newer appliances, ample cabinetry, and a dining area with a corner window that looks out over the fenced backyard. The fully renovated ceramic tile bathroom adds a clean, modern touch, and the partially finished lower level offers additional living space with a recreation area, laundry room, and generous storage. Outside is where this home truly shines — enjoy a large deck, mature trees, pond feature, greenhouse, and plenty of space for gardening, entertaining, or pets. The insulated two-car garage with electricity and wide driveway make it ideal for a workshop, hobbies, or extra storage. Major improvements include newer windows, roof (2023), furnace, PEX plumbing, updated garage insulation, and a recently installed perimeter drainage system. Located just blocks from parks, coffee shops, dog parks, bike lanes, transit, and local favorites, this home blends comfort, functionality, and neighborhood charm. Move-in ready and available for immediate possession at closing.
