Classic character, thoughtful improvements and a location that puts some of New Bedford’s best-known destinations within easy reach come together in this spacious Colonial. Hardwood floors carry through the living room, dining room and bedrooms, while a fireplace anchors the living area and the kitchen offers stone counters, stainless appliances, gas cooking and a breakfast bar. Upstairs are three bedrooms, including a primary with private bath and another with access to an exterior balcony. A walk-up third floor adds substantial attic space and a large walk-in closet, creating valuable storage and future possibilities. Recent improvements include a new rear deck, refreshed slate roof, first-floor mini-split, new fencing, Andersen storm doors and basement waterproofing. Outside, enjoy a fenced yard, detached garage and paved parking. Buttonwood Park, Buttonwood Park Zoo, St. Luke’s Hospital, Downtown New Bedford, the New Bedford Whaling Museum, historic waterfront and I-195 are all nearby, adding recreation, dining, culture and commuter access to the home’s appeal.
