Property details

About 1609 F St

A true Bellingham original located in the heart of the Lettered Streets. Set on what early settlers called Peabody Hill-this property traces its roots back to one of Bellingham’s founders, Russell Peabody, who originally owned the lot. This 4-bed/1-bath home has been well loved over the years & now features recent updates that add comfort without compromising character—new sewer line, fresh interior paint, updated carpet, & front siding. Along w/street parking there are a couple shared common parking spots. With a Walk Score that makes car-free living easy, you’re just blocks from Elizabeth Park, downtown, and the new waterfront with access to the water, and bike trails to Fairhaven and beyond.
