Vintage charm meets thoughtful updates in this inviting 1926 home in Bellingham’s Cornwall Park neighborhood. Offering 2 bedrooms, 1 bath and 1,147 sq ft, the home features solid mahogany kitchen cabinetry, beautiful butcher block counters, hardwood kitchen flooring and stainless-steel appliances. Fresh living room paint and new recessed lighting brighten the living spaces, while an updated bathroom with a clawfoot tub adds timeless appeal. French doors open to the back deck and yard, perfect for outdoor dining or relaxing. The insulated, finished detached garage is wired for 220V, with two additional off-alley parking spaces. The home also comes with a thoughtfully designed detached ADU plan set, fully permissible within Bellingham, offering an exciting opportunity to expand the property’s potential.

A freshly stained front door welcomes you home, with nearby parks and Bellingham amenities close at hand.
