Let’s talk about getting you home. Tucked into New Bedford’s North End, this well-loved Cape has been in the same family for 50 years and it shows in all the right ways. Step inside to gorgeous original hardwood floors, a bright, open feel, an updated kitchen with granite counters, and two generously sized bedrooms right on the main level. The bath has been refreshed, the windows have been replaced, and outside you’ll find a corner lot, off-street parking, a private backyard and even a mature grapevine. Then head upstairs and let your imagination take over. Office? Studio? Hobby space? Storage? There’s bonus space ready for your ideas.
