Bring your vision to this 1945 farmhouse on 5.83± acres along Ferndale's Portal Way corridor! This unique property offers something rarely found in a residential setting: room to create a home and lifestyle around your future plans, combined with General Business Commercial (GB) zoning that may provide added flexibility for work-from-home, business or investment opportunities. The vacant 2,280± SF residence requires renovation and is being sold AS-IS, creating an opportunity to restore and personalize the existing farmhouse while taking advantage of nearly six acres of commercially zoned land. Imagine living where you work, creating dedicated office or business space, accommodating equipment or storage needs, or simply enjoying the acreage while preserving options for the future, subject to City approval. Portal Way frontage and convenient I-5 access add to the property's versatility for buyers seeking more than a traditional home. Whether your vision is a renovated farmhouse, home-based business, owner-user property, long-term investment or combination of home and work, this property offers the space and zoning to explore what's possible. A rare opportunity to create a home today while investing in property with commercial potential for tomorrow. Buyer to verify zoning, permitted uses, utilities, property condition and feasibility of intended use with the City of Ferndale. Also listed Commercial, NWMLS #2580939.
