On the market for the first time in 52 years, this is one of Fairhaven’s oldest homes. Full of historical charm and character, it offers beautiful views of the bay and surrounding area and is ready for someone to refresh and personalize it. The kitchen was recently updated by Chuckanut Builders, and the home also features new carpet upstairs, a high-efficiency furnace, and a new hot water heater. The landscaped yard provides a peaceful retreat with grapevines, perfect for gardening or enjoying a morning coffee. Parking is available in the back, including a detached garage. Boulevard Park, local restaurants, shops, & scenic trails are just a short walk away. A rare chance to reimagine a true South Hill classic and make it uniquely your own.
