About this home

A masterpiece of 19th-century craftsmanship, reimagined for modern living - This grand Italianate Victorian has undergone extensive renovations inside & out, blending historic soul with premium updates. The main residence is expansive, boasting 8 bedrooms & 4.5 baths across three levels of luminous living space. At the heart of the home, a chef’s kitchen flows into a stunning sunroom overlooking a private garden. Adding incredible versatility is the freshly transformed carriage house, now a modern one bed/one bath ADU perfect for multi-generational living or a sophisticated guest retreat. Located in the coveted West End, you are moments from St. Luke’s Hospital, Buttonwood Park, & the energy of Downtown New Bedford. From soaring ceilings & intricate moldings to the flexible layout & separate first floor office suite - conducive to a potential in-law conversion - every inch of this estate has been polished to perfection. This is a rare opportunity to own a turnkey piece of history.
