Living in Happy Valley is the Bellingham dream. Weekend walks to Fairhaven. Miles of nearby trails. Easy access to the waterfront. WWU just minutes away. It's the kind of neighborhood where you spend less time in your car and more time enjoying everything that makes Bellingham such a special place to call home. Now it's your turn.Thoughtfully updated with new flooring, fresh interior paint, updated lighting, and a handicap-accessible bathroom, this charming home is move-in ready while still leaving room to make it your own. Upstairs, the finished attic (not included in sq footage) provides a flexible bonus space-perfect for a hobby/playroom, creative studio, home office, or simply the extra storage every homeowner appreciates. Picture yourself spending evenings in the backyard with friends, growing a garden you've always wanted, or hopping on your bike to explore the trails just min. from your front door. The long driveway provides plenty of off-street parking, while the carport offers exciting potential to become an enclosed garage or create the perfect place to store bikes, paddleboards, kayaks, skis, and all the gear that comes with living the PNW lifestyle. Homes that make Happy Valley homeownership attainable don't come along often. And if your story eventually leads you somewhere new, this is the kind of home you may find yourself wanting to keep—a place that can continue serving you as a long-term investment in one of Bellingham's most enduring neighborhoods.
