Welcome to 917 13th Street on Bellingham's South Hill.

This home is ready for your vision and creativity!

The current home is in need of a lot of TLC, but the options are endless with this property.

Rework the existing home or scrape it off the foundation and start fresh!

This home has been in the same family since the 1940's. Now it's time for it's next chapter!

Back entry from the alley leads to an enclosed porch.

Exceptional lot in the heart of the south hill neighborhood, this is such a rare opportunity!

The foundation is there to either fully remodel and update or remove the house and start over with your own custom design and vision. Just a couple blocks down from Lowell Elementary.

The wood burning fireplace is the centerpiece of the current home.

The dining room and living room flank the fireplace - it's a cozy space with an amazing view.

It's easy to imagine soaking up this view day in and day out.

Many original features are intact throughout.

The small but functional kitchen could be refreshed or gut this space and rework the whole space.

The kitchen has a door leading to the enclosed porch where you can access the back of the house and alley or the front porch.

One of 2 bedrooms. Extremely high vaulted ceilings which are gorgeous. You could lower the ceilings to create more space in the attic and have a finished second story.

Main level bathroom, situated between the two bedrooms

This bedroom has a staircase access to the unfinished attic space

In the attic you have many options; leave as-is, lower the floor and increase the space here to finish it into additional living space.

The views from the attic are the best - this space is awaiting your imagination - or if you tear down the home, you can really maximize the view from a second story with a completely new design and build.

The basement is another blank canvas depending on what you decide to do with this home.

Ideas and plans were started down here but not finished - there is electrical and plumbing and a solid foundation.

Workspace in the back, and on the left you can see a doorway which leads to what used to be a dark room.

Endless options with this basement, it has tall ceilings and there are even views of the water from down here!

A non-functioning bathroom is also located in the basement

This door is from the enclosed porch leading to the front deck. The window here is from the kitchen area.

Inside the enclosed porch, you can access the front, back and inside of the house.

The true value here is in the land - this oversized lot can accommodate a complete rebuild or a full renovation plus the potential for 1 or more ADU's (buyer to verify).

Absolutely gorgeous lot with a view that is incredible. A new sewer line was installed from 13th street in 2000.

This property is just a short walk or bike ride to Fairhaven, trails and all the amenities of south Bellingham.

Bring your dream home ideas and an open mind when you come see this property!

This property presents an opportunity to create something really special.

Views of the bay, the San Juan islands and even the Canadian Rockies will great you from this one of a kind property.
