One-level home in the desirable York neighborhood with detached garage and convenient alley access. Great opportunity for homeowners, investors or developers! Bellingham’s Middle Housing regulations may allow for additional units, including ADUs and other middle housing options, offering exciting potential for future development or added density. Centrally located with a short walk to Harriet Spanel Park and easy access to downtown, schools, shopping and amenities. Buyer to verify zoning, density, ADU, development and permitting possibilities with the City of Bellingham.
York, located between Downtown Bellingham and the Sehome Hill area, is a historic and walkable Bellingham neighborhood with tree-lined streets and a compact grid of early-1900s homes. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the corner of N State Street and E Chestnut Street, where small storefronts and sidewalk energy set the tone. Community pillars include the Pickford Film Center, Make.Shift Art Space, and the Bellingham Farmers Market. Front porches, gabled roofs, and mature maples shape the streetscape, while alleys and pocket gardens add texture. A short climb leads to views and trails at nearby parks, and the downtown core keeps daily errands close. The feel is creative, lived-in, and oriented around local culture rather than big-box retail.
