Listing broker remarks

Built in 1896 by Willard Nye, Jr., this remarkable home stands out as one of New Bedford’s most unique properties. Nestled on a charming tree-lined street, its exterior features rough fieldstone sourced from the stone wall that once surrounded the Nye homestead. Inside, the layout flows seamlessly, perfectly suited for modern living. The sprawling fireplaced living room opens to the study or home office. The residence includes four bedrooms, two full bathrooms and one-half bathroom with laundry. The property further benefits from a private yard, complete with an inground pool offering an exclusive outdoor retreat, Architectural elements include a distinctive gambrel roof with a slate finish. Walking distance to shopping, restaurants, museums and the train station make this a MUST SEE home.— Diana Henry Realty
