Location, location, location!

Come tour this beautifully restored, 2440 square foot, Victorian farmhouse, with waterviews and a huge, covered, wrap-around porch. This lovely home is situated on a 6,382 square foot lot with professional landscaping, an underground irrigation system, and a detached one-car garage.

This white-clapboarded house has beautiful oak and pine floors. Enter through the front vestibule to find a large foyer with a sweeping staircase that leads to the floor above.

The first floor offers a large living room with French doors that open to the covered porch, a formal dining room with bay windows, an attractive den, a recently renovated kitchen with custom, walnut cabinets and pantries, and a half-bath and laundry room.

The large farmers porch is deep and allows for seating for dozens of people. As it is near the water, its shady, breezy environs are an absolute delight. A great place to watch passing parades or from which to offer refreshments to participants in the annual Fairhaven Road Race. Also see late afternoon sunsets over the harbor, which is due west.

Upstairs, find four bedrooms and a large full bath. A set of back stairs descends down to the kitchen.

This impeccable property is located in Fairhaven's historic village center, just blocks from the town hall, library, bicycle path, post office, eateries and town wharf. Also, within blocks of an active marina, a state beach, tennis courts and Buzzards Bay. It is located one block from the Fairhaven Harbor, which is one of the most active fishing harbors in the United States. Get fresh scallops and swordfish just blocks from your house.

While Fairhaven's village center area is sleepy and quiet with beautiful old buildings (take our tour on this site), it is also very close to convenient shopping centers and to major highways. Fairhaven is 30 minutes from Providence, 30 minutes from Newport, RI, an hour from Boston, and 30 minutes to the Cape Bridges. Also, the Fairhaven harbor runs a high speed Ferry to Martha's Vineyard that takes under an hour.

Fairhaven offers the finest in New England living: history, character, boating, community, and beaches. It is a great location from which to take full advantage of what the South Coast has to offer.
