Property Description
Rare opportunity to unlock serious equity in one of Bellingham's most beloved neighborhoods! Nestled in the sought-after Columbia neighborhood, this 1920s Craftsman is full of character, charm, and endless potential. From the original hardwood floors and timeless built-ins to the welcoming enclosed porch, this home is just waiting for the right vision to restore it to its former glory. The property feels like a hidden retreat, surrounded by mature trees, blooming lilacs, fruit trees, and lush gardens that create a true secret-garden setting. Tucked at the back of the property is a legal detached ADU bursting with possibilities - restore it for rental income, guest space, a studio, or multigenerational living. Whether you choose to renovate the main home first, tackle both simultaneously, or create your dream compound, the opportunity here is incredibly rare. Backing to Squalicum Creek and spanning just over .60 acres, this property offers an exceptional sense of privacy and space while still being close to everything. A detached garage, storage shed, abundant off-street parking, and a newer furnace in the main home add even more value to this one-of-a-kind property.
