About this home
Turnkey investment with a proven rental history and strong demand in Bellingham's historic York Neighborhood. This Fully occupied duplex lives more like two homes than two attached units. Each side offers a bedroom with a private full bath, generous living space, in-unit laundry, and ample off-street parking. Well maintained and ideally located near 1-5, WWU, downtown Bellingham, transit, and Nelson's Market. Enjoy an easy walk or bike to local restaurants, breweries, and neighborhood favorites. This unique opportunity is perfect for any investment portfolio or a future owner occupant looking for all the charm of the York Neighborhood while offsetting home ownership costs with consistent rental income.
York Historic District, located between Downtown Bellingham and Whatcom Falls Park, is a historic and walkable Bellingham neighborhood with tree-lined streets and early-1900s architecture. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the corner of Potter Street and Ellis Street, where front porches, corner sidewalks, and a steady bike-and-foot rhythm set the tone. Craftsman bungalows and restored Victorians sit beside small apartment courts, giving the blocks a layered, lived-in look. Elizabeth Park’s broad lawn and paths act as an outdoor living room for the district. The nearby Mount Baker Theatre and Pickford Film Center anchor arts nights close to home. Boundary Bay Brewery and the Bellingham Farmers Market add a local-food cadence to the week.
