If you are looking for the best buy in Bellingham, look no further. This three bedroom, 1 3/4 bath home has had over $100,000 of improvements and it's NOT a fixer. Don't bother with a low offer! The home is on a dead end street and while it only has a single oversized garage there is lots of extra parking. Even space for an RV or boat if you have one. Recent upgrades to furnace, siding, roof and drainage leave little to be done. It is a quiet neighborhood, with a great level, fenced back yard and is very close to Lake Padden and Sehome Village. Almost the perfect home. You must see the interior of the home to appreciate the value.
