This charming 1851 two-family cottage easily adapts to a single-family home too! Nestled on a picturesque cobblestone street, it's just a stone’s throw from the New Bedford Whaling National Historical Park & the new historic Your Theatre. Wander down historic Mechanics Lane & you’ll find a bustling downtown with popular restaurants, shops, & museums. The 1st floor features a beautiful sun-filled living room, kitchen, new bathroom, & one bedroom. The 2nd floor boasts a kitchen, living room, two bedrooms, & a full bathroom w/skylight.There's also a 3rd level with some heated living space, giving this home a city loft feel rather than that of an antique home. Original plank floors & woodwork set the mood for cozy living. A full basement with interior access (& an exit to the backyard) has a cement floor,above-ground windows, insulation & a French drain, keeping things dry & ideal for the home’s laundry. The roof, only 5 years old, adds to the appeal & durability of this unique property!
