About this home

The wait is over for that perfect move-in ready, updated home in the heart of Barkley Village, where intentional modern styling meets one of Bellingham’s most walkable lifestyles. Step inside to a beautifully remodeled kitchen with fresh backsplash, rich waterproof laminate wood flooring flowing throughout, and updated bathrooms showcasing new vanities and flooring. A new Solar tube skylight fills the upstairs bath with soft natural light. The thoughtful floor plan offers three bedrooms and two full baths, including a main-floor bedroom and full bath ideal for guests, an office, or easy single-level living. Enjoy lasting peace of mind with a brand new roof, fresh exterior paint, and sleek modern exterior lighting. Out back, a covered patio invites year-round barbecues, while a brand new fully fenced yard, raised garden bed, and mature landscaping create your own private retreat. A private drive to the west buffers you from neighboring homes, and ample driveway parking complements the two-car garage. The location is unbeatable: stroll to the beloved Railroad Trail and citywide trail system, the state-of-the-art Regal cinema, the brand new Scramble Nature Playpark, Haggen grocery, local coffee shops, and more than a dozen restaurants, plus the Village Green hosting car shows, festivals, and lively summer events, all just steps away. Turnkey Barkley Village living at its finest. Special financing is available on this home. Contact your broker for more information.
