704 Gladstone St, Bellingham, WA 98225

Spacious and full of character, this 2,200-square-foot, 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home is located in Bellingham's quiet, tree-lined York neighborhood, convenient to WWU, downtown, Whatcom Falls Park, schools, groceries, and the Community Food Co-op. Originally built in 1895 as a neighborhood grocery store, the home was later thoughtfully converted into a comfortable residence. Beautiful custom oak floors and woodwork were crafted by a shipbuilder and friend of the property's former owners, giving the house a warmth and character rarely found in newer homes. The main floor features a large, high-ceilinged living room with a cozy gas fireplace and wonderful acoustics; a spacious kitchen with adjoining dining area; primary bedroom with private full bath; laundry area and pantry; and an additional half bath. Upstairs are two bedrooms, a second full bathroom, and a comfortable window-lined sitting area that makes an excellent home office, art studio, reading room, or children's play area.
