If walls could talk, no doubt this vintage charmer would have some stories to tell! Located in the heart of Lynden, this grand 3-story home is brimming with character & possibility! Hardwood floors, wide wood-wrapped trim, built-ins everywhere, & a charming parlor room w/ brick fireplace capture the timeless appeal of yesteryear. Picture rocking chairs on the patio beneath Front St’s famous pin oak trees, or gather in the sunny breakfast nook. Evenings full of laughter in the basement media room with its dry bar, shuffleboard, & 5th bed/exercise room + unfinished storage too. With RM2 zoning for higher density, the large garage offers potential for an ADU or redevelopment. History, charm, & opportunity all in one! Buyer to verify 5th bed.
