Step into history with the iconic James Taylor Home, circa 1859, located just steps from the heart of New Bedford’s famed Whaling Seaport. Surrounded by renowned restaurants, charming shops, and the newly operational commuter rail, this prime location offers both convenience and character. Currently configured as a five-family property—four units within the main residence and a fifth in a separate structure—this historic gem presents endless possibilities. Restore it to its original grandeur or capitalize on a unique investment opportunity and expand your portfolio. A rare chance to own a piece of New Bedford history in an unbeatable location! The city currently has it identified as three units, two in the main house and a third in the detached building. The owner is looking into this as he and his family have owned it for many years and have always been of the understanding that it has 5 units. Buyer should also perform their own due diligence.
