Steeped in history and craftsmanship, 1601 16th St stands as a testament to Bedford's limestone legacy. Built by industry pioneer John Rowe, this English-style residence pairs enduring architecture with modern comfort across an impressive 3,984 square feet. The handsome limestone exterior sets a distinguished tone, while inside, warm hardwood floors stretch through rooms designed for both gathering and quiet retreat. At the heart of the home, a custom gourmet kitchen invites culinary creativity, blending timeless character with the functionality today's cooks crave. Three bedrooms and two and a half baths deliver room to spread out, and a large recreation room offers the perfect stage for movie marathons, game nights, or a dedicated hobby space. Recent renovations and upgrades have this home shining and truly move-in ready—no projects, just settling in.
