Our renovated Basement Studio is awesome for anyone that is looking for a clean, modern space close to downtown Bellingham. In the historic Lettered Streets neighborhood, walk to all the great breweries and restaurants. Although this house was built in the late 1800's... the studio is new, bright, and a perfect getaway. It has it all: King Size bed, full kitchen, and a mud-room to store outdoor bikes, boards, skis, and kayaks. PLEASE READ the entire listing description!

The space
This space has been 100% renovated! Every aspect is new, fresh, and clean. It is the bottom floor of a 3 story home that was built in 1886! The front door opens directly to the driveway, so there is no need to haul your luggage very far. It is also very accessible for those that do not want to climb stairs. Full kitchen is provided, with a full size stove, sink, and refrigerator. We also provide a Keurig coffee maker and moderate array of cooking supplies. We provide simple amenities to make you feel at home, such as a hair dryer, iron, and desk space. We also love to give people a feel for the historic charm of our old Bellingham neighborhood, so we have incorporated historic black and white photos from the Whatcom Museum. We also love the vintage inspired record player to add some ambience to the space and hope guests enjoy a record or two while they are here.

Guest access
Guest access is the entire floor studio. Doors are operated by an electronic lock, so there is no fussing with keys. This also provides convenience for guests to arrive at their leisure. Guests also have access to the sitting area on the front porch, and any parking that is available in the driveway.

Other things to note
As mentioned, we are VERY close to the water and downtown. In Bellingham, with any proximity to the waterfront, you will be able to hear the trains. This unit has brand new windows, so the noise is very minimal. Also, please read our neighborhood description. This unit is in an urban location, and this should be noted further in our "neighborhood" section. Furthermore, this is a downstairs apartment unit and footsteps can be heard from the apartment above.

Neighborhood highlights

Lettered Streets is an awesome neighborhood if you like to be close to downtown restaurants, bars, and businesses. We often walk to the farmers markets or to brunch, and appreciate that we are one of the closest neighborhoods to downtown Bellingham. We love all the breweries, tap-houses, and coffee shops that are blocks away from our house! It is also ideal because it is a short distance (less than a mile) from the waterfront and the Marina (Squalicum Harbor). The fact that we can walk less than a mile to the marina to inspect the yachts, watch the sunset at Zuanich park, or driftwood hunt along Squalicum Beach is a real luxury! We love our location so much, but we still feel it is important to note that because we are only blocks from downtown, parks, restaurants and the waterfront, we have some proximity to areas where the homeless population of Bellingham will congregate. As with any downtown area nationwide, homelessness is rising. It is unfortunate, but we cannot change this fact until certain systemic issues are addressed in our country. And Bellingham, even though picturesque and charming, shares the same disparity in living wage/home prices that the entire west coast is experiencing. However, we love living so close to downtown and have NO issues with our neighborhood. It is considered a desirable and very safe area to live. However, we like to give everyone a heads up... especially those folks that like to ignore that homelessness indeed exists in America. If you do not want to see homeless people, please do NOT stay here!

My work: Teacher / Industrial Construction
Lives in Bellingham, Washington
Lindsy is a middle school teacher from both the Big Island of Hawaii and SW Washington and Eli is a born and raised Washington boy. We are currently living in this charming little town on the water. After living in Alaska for a short bit, we moved back to Bellingham and love every second. We especially love sharing all of our favorite spots in this quirky town. In 2018 we welcomed our daughter, Havana (like the city in Cuba). When we aren't playing with Havana or renovating our Lettered Streets houses, you can find us roaming Bellingham.... usually with a stroller, in search of good food and beer. On the more rare occasion, we're bothering our friends in Seattle and Portland, chilling on the Big Island, or exploring this lovely world.
