Welcome home to this architectural masterpiece on a tree-lined street within walking distance to New Bedford's downtown, Island ferries and new commuter rail. The 1844 Captain Abraham Gardner House was built in New Bedford's Whaling Era with a mahogany grand staircase, granite foundation and architectural details that would be unlikely duplicatable today. The home has been owned by the same family for over twenty years and has seen many iterations. Its current configuration features a luxury "penthouse" style second floor flat with 3 bedrooms, two bathrooms and a winter water view. The first bathroom boasts an original cast-iron claw foot tub; the second features a walk-in tiled shower with skylight and octagon window. Downstairs, find a spacious high ceilinged one bedroom with modern appliances including a stackable HE washer/dryer. Additional features include Jotul wood stove in the working fireplace. There is a full attic that could be developed into a third story space.
