Quintessential South Dartmouth/ Westport/ Little Compton Antique Cape with First Floor Master Suite and Deeded Water Access

If you appreciate the historic, South Coast Region and are looking for a well-preserved antique with lots of personality, look no further. This, 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath, center-chimney, cape-style home, built in the 1781, has been carefully updated with a first-floor master suite and is replete with charm and character. This home offers 2200 sf of living space, as well as beautiful gardens, stone walls, three porches, three working federal fireplaces, wood floors, original windows and loads of period detail.

Enter the first floor through the front door, a covered, side porch, or one of two convenient, rear entrances. The first floor has a formal living room; a formal dining room; a family room/ den; a study/ office with half-bath; a nice-sized, eat-in, country kitchen; and a large, master suite with master bath and fireplace. The kitchen has open cabinets, built-ins, a separate eating area with bay windows, a 6-burner commercial, gas stove, terrazzo tile floors, and room for a center island/ butcher-block counter. Off the kitchen is a large, covered, screened-in, slate-floored porch with rustic beam-and-beadboard ceiling that overlooks the back yard. Truly lovely. This is the quintessential Westport/ South Dartmouth/ Little Compton property - a tastefully updated antique that has been spared its charm and character.

Climb the Federal Staircase to the second floor to find a large landing, two nice-sized bedrooms, a full bathroom and storage areas. All this in an area abutting more expensive homes, across the street from a working horse farm, a short walk from Padanaram Village and the New Bedford Yacht Club, and with deeded water rights to Padanaram Harbor.

If you appreciate antiques, you don't want to miss this Revolutionary War era home that has been well loved. It is served by town water, town sewer, and town gas.
