A century of warmth welcomes you to this charming slice of 1920s history, thoughtfully updated for today. Set on .34 acres in Bellingham's established Birchwood neighborhood, this 1925 Craftsman blends classic character with an unusually large in-town backyard made for garden life. Two driveways provide additional parking. Established raspberries, blueberries, cherry, apple and fig trees join productive garden beds, a greenhouse, deer fencing and generous patios, creating a gardener's dream without giving up the convenience of being right in town. Explore potential future infill or ADU possibilities with the City of Bellingham (buyer to verify), or preserve the space and enjoy everything already growing. Inside, hardwood floors, an updated kitchen, and flexible spaces offer room to live, work, and create. A 180 sq ft finished loft with skylights adds versatile bonus space, while the huge 1,000+ sq ft unfinished basement offers expansive room for laundry, bike parking, storage, a workshop and creative pursuits, along with additional finished space and a half bath. A brand-new roof was installed in August 2026, and the home is equipped with solar. Near Birchwood Park with connections toward Squalicum Creek Park and Squalicum Beach, this is core Bellingham living with room to breathe.
