Enjoy bright, west-facing light from this beautifully kept home in the sought-after Drake Condominiums at Barkley Village and the seller will cover your first 6 months of HOA dues. This is about as walkable as Bellingham gets: the Interurban Trailhead is right across the street, a gym is a block away, your bank is across the street, and Haggen Grocery, Regal IMAX, medical and dental offices, and 14+ restaurants are all one to three blocks out. On weekends, the park a block away hosts markets and live music. Inside, the entire home has been freshly and professionally repainted, including every door and the kitchen cabinetry, with hardwood floors throughout and abundant natural light. The primary bedroom offers a large walk-in closet, plus a den/office for work or guests. The 1.5 baths include a spa-like primary ensuite with soaking tub and separate shower, and the gourmet kitchen features granite counters, stainless steel appliances, and an in-unit washer/dryer. Despite all the activity outside, the unit is remarkably quiet. The Drake offers secured entry, elevator access, a covered garage parking space, a private storage unit, and free guest parking in the adjacent lot. It's one of Bellingham's few true mixed-use buildings, with the Barkley library branch and a police precinct both on the ground floor plus quick access to I-5.
