A Rare Opportunity to Live in the Heart of Historic Bedford Nestled in the heart of Bedford Center, this extraordinary rental offers a truly unique opportunity to live within a piece of local history—while enjoying the comfort and convenience of a thoughtfully renovated home.The property is part of the historic Elijah Stearns Mansion, an 18th-century Federal-style home listed on the National Register of Historic Places and known for its connections to Bedford’s Revolutionary War history. Tucked next to the main residence is a remarkable hidden gem: the original attached barn, once home to horses and other animals hundreds of years ago. Carefully and thoughtfully rebuilt in the 1990s, the barn has been transformed into a spacious and charming three-bedroom, two-bath rental home. From the street, you would never guess just how much this home has to offer. The first floor features a generous living room, a comfortable den, mudroom with laundry, and an inviting eat-in kitchen complete with a large walk-in pantry. A formal dining room and full bathroom round out the main level. Just off the eat-in kitchen, sliding doors open to a large private deck overlooking the property's beautifully maintained grounds—a peaceful setting that feels worlds away despite being steps from the center of town. Upstairs, you'll find three generously sized bedrooms, a dedicated office, and a second full bathroom featuring a large tub. Throughout the home, original architectural details add warmth, character, and a sense of history that simply cannot be replicated in a newer home. There is a story behind every room—and if these walls could talk, you could spend years listening to them. The property also includes a detached one-car garage and two dedicated parking spaces. Best of all, the location offers an exceptional level of convenience. Situated in Bedford Center, you can walk to many of the shops, restaurants, services, and amenities that make the area so special. For those looking for something more than just a rental—a home with character, history, privacy, and an unbeatable location—this is a rare opportunity to call a truly special property home. Available immediately. No pets, please.
