This beautiful home was built in 1868 and endearingly known as the Alice P. Adams House (named after its first owner). It is a wonderful example of an antique home topped with a classic square belvedere with Italianate features from which expansive views of the city can be taken in. The exterior has been lovingly restored with new cedar clapboards and a recent roof as well as new front and side porches and railings. The interior of the home has kept much of its original charm with wide plank wood flooring and timeless trim work, but it also has some added modern comforts, such as central air conditioning. Commuting to and from Boston is a quick and easy with the newly opened commuter rail just minutes away. It is also close to highway access and even closer to New Bedford's charming downtown with great restaurants and bars. Come and take a look at your new home.
