About this home
A distinguished Fairhaven residence where history, architecture and lifestyle converge brings 252 Main Street or “The Bentley Estate” to the real estate market. Designed by regionally renowned S.C. Hunt Architecture for Mr. Lewis E. Bentley at the turn-of-the-century, this Victorian home offers a rare opportunity to become the next steward with timeless presence and enduring character. Spanning more than 2,800 square feet, the home reveals the craftsmanship of its era through soaring ceilings, substantial millwork, hardwood floors and four fireplaces throughout the first level. Gracious living and dining rooms create an elegant backdrop for entertaining while a private office with exterior access and a generous kitchen with exposed beams, granite surfaces, stainless appliances, gas cooking and an oversized island bring versatility to everyday life. As you make your way to the second level and pass by stunning one of a kind stained glass windows off the main foyer, you will find four well-proportioned bedrooms joined by an additional family room lined with custom-built-ins. This offers an uncommon abundance of flexible living space throughout the levels of the home and, yet, allows the next homeowner’s imagination to further extend the possibilities with a walk-up attic and partially finished basement. Beyond the interiors, nearly half an acre on this ideal corner lot and parade route unfolds into a private setting designed for gathering and summer living with a fenced yard, in-ground pool and patio, detached two-car garage and expansive paved drive. The location completes the offering as the home is just moments from Fairhaven’s historic center, waterfront, bike path, Fort Phoenix and local parks. With neighboring New Bedford providing convenient access to MBTA commuter rail service to Boston and ferry connections to the Islands, This home offers the increasingly rare combination of architectural provenance, substantial space, private outdoor living and coastal New England convenience....
