About this home

A rare southside opportunity where historic character meets new development potential. This 5-bedroom home offers classic character, including a brick fireplace and built-in cabinetry. The interior is ready for updating, creating an opportunity to restore the existing home or explore its development potential. The main floor features three bedrooms and a full bath, while upstairs offers a rec room, two additional bedrooms and potential for a half bath already plumbed in. New furnace and water heater installed in 2025. Zoned RM7.5 and situated where Bellingham's current middle-housing regulations offer new possibilities for residential development (buyer to verify all development potential with the city). The location is hard to beat, just six blocks from Fairhaven's historic district, shops, cafes and restaurants, with Boulevard Park, Taylor Dock, the South Bay Trail and Western Washington University all nearby. Don't miss this opportunity to own in one of Bellingham's most amenity-rich areas and create something truly special.
