Classic charm with the right updates: light-filled spaces, warm wood floors, & a modernized kitchen. Fresh paint, and new carpet—easy, comfortable, move-in ready. The kitchen shines with a full suite of stainless appliances and timeless finishes. The ground floor offers a bedroom on the main, and a work-from-home office w/a sunny view leading to the backyard out the French doors. Head upstairs, around the artisan staircase for two more large bedrooms, a bathroom, and a fun area to play or create. Tuck away with a good book in the owl cove or take a seat on the upper deck soaking in evening orange-glowed sunsets. Outdoor living? Done right! A large, fully fenced yard with lots of room to breathe. Garden beds offer 'farm to table' just steps from the kitchen. Expansive lower deck is perfect for gatherings. Covered patio with portico—rain or shine, you’re set. Mature shrubs and trees, adorned w/seasonal blooming flowers, decorate this property. Need space to create? You’ve got it. Oversized detached 2+ car garage with shop area, wood stove and 2 sliding wall doors that open wide to the backyard—projects, gear, or a true flex space. Bonus shed with windows—ideal for a studio or creative space. Centrally located just a few minutes to Fairhaven, WWU, I-5, and miles of trails. A neighborhood with a vibe. A home with personality!
