Redfin agents who toured
What a great farm property! The property includes currently 2 ADU income buildings (one is a separate space but attached to the home), an RV spot, 2 yaks, fruit trees and pasture space. The attached ADU perhaps could be opened to be part of the home,...
although I didn't get to see inside. The lot is level with views of Bellingham. The home retains its original charm with 2 bedrooms upstairs and a claw foot tub in the bathroom downstairs. The work shed/barn is large There are many tall fences and gates to separate animals from people.
