Fresh remodel this year on this 2504 square foot home on 18.5 acres zoned R5A (2 tax parcels). New flooring, trim, appliances, paint, and quartz countertop. Main floor features 2 bds./1.75 bathrooms, and downstairs, an extended living area or ADU has 2 bds., 2nd br. does not have a window. There is 1 bath, a kitchen, and a separate entry. The property has a large pond(small lake) with a bridge and usable shoreline for fishing and launching kayaks or boats. Large red barn set up for animals and possible storage units, as the 8.53-acre property is zoned for light industrial. Heat and cooling come from ductless mini-splits, forced air natural gas, and a free-standing gas stove. This property has a lot going for it in terms of uses. Two separate living areas would make for good rental income, and the barn has income potential—Zoned R5A. Great location, halfway between Ferndale and Bellingham.
