In this quiet and desirable neighborhood, you can take an evening stroll to Lafeen's for ice cream and homemade sandwiches, then toss the freebee at Whatcom Falls park. Take advantage of all of the biking & running trails and enjoy a cookout BBQ in the huge yard.

Corner lot rambler close to Whatcom Falls Park. Definitely in need of updating but has potential. Tall ceilings throughout. Lots of potential with the yard.
