Amazing opportunity to live in a classic Fairhaven home! Take a look at this wonderful four bedroom one bath turn-of-the-century home just a couple blocks out of downtown Fairhaven. Original wood floors, wood trim, and built-ins. This home has been owned by a local church since the mid 60s. Now time for it to be brought back to his full potential. There is one bedroom on the main floor and a full bathroom. Beautiful living room and dining room with the classic reading nook. Upstairs are three more good size bedrooms with rare walk-in closets. There is also a nice sun filled landing with peekaboo views of B’Ham Bay. Gas forced air, gas fired instant hot water tank. This home could be considered a cosmetic fixer or potential masterpiece!
