Welcome to your dream home, where timeless elegance meets contemporary sophistication! Step through the original entrance door of this newly renovated colonial gem and let the charm envelop you. As you enter, you're greeted by impressive high ceilings that create a sense of spaciousness, while the exquisite mahogany banister in the curved staircase serves as a testament to the home's rich heritage. Your heart will delight at the abundance of room this home provides, yet the allure of a private outdoor space with an oversized shed means you're always one step away from enjoying a moment of tranquility in the fresh air! Parking is a breeze with off-street options, while your prime location gives you easy access to everyday necessities like grocery stores and parks, as well as quick connections to highways and local transportation. Let's not forget the charm of New Bedford's historic waterfront district, brimming with culture, delicious dining, and eclectic shopping experiences.
