The “Deacon Hiram Tripp House”, built in 1830, combines beauty and location. This 4-bedroom, 2-bath home, located in Fairhaven’s historic village center, on a quiet, tree-lined street, just a block from Fairhaven’s beautiful town library, town hall, post office, churches, the bicycle path, restaurants, marinas, and the Fairhaven Harbor (one can even catch glimpses of the harbor from the home). A 10-minute walk takes you to Buzzards Bay and the Fort Phoenix State Park and Beach.

The exterior of the home is “seagull gray” painted clapboard with white trim. Enter this home through a large front foyer with a beautiful staircase and original, carved, rosewood banister. To your left is a large, fireplaced living room. Straight back is a spacious, fireplaced dining room with built-ins. Off the dining room, find a nice-sized family room or library with built in bookcases, an updated, spacious, eat-in kitchen, a sunroom, laundry room, and a full bath.

Climb the winding staircase to find three bedrooms, another full bath, and an office. Up another flight of stairs to the third floor, find another bedroom and storage space. A set of back stairs leads from the second floor back down to the ground floor.

The house has oak floors, throughout, except for the kitchen and sunroom, which are tiled. These rooms are a more recent addition. There is a full, walkout basement, as well as a large yard with a brick patio.

This is a spacious, updated, antique house. It has excellent flow. Great for entertaining.

10 rooms, 4 bedrooms, 2 baths, beautiful woodwork and moldings, 10 foot ceilings (except in the kitchen), hardwood floors, 3-zoned heat, 200 Amp electrical service (updated to circuit breakers), two double-bricked fireplaces. This house has is in very good shape and is a great example of Fairhaven’s finer antique stock. Its location is superb in that it is right in the middle of Fairhaven Village, but feels very private. All kitchen appliances are included.
