Welcome to your Private Recreational Estate! Set on approximately 2.45 acres, this exceptional North End New Bedford property offers a rare combination of privacy, recreation & convenience. The approximately 1900 + sq. ft. residence features 3 large bedrooms & 2 full baths, surrounded by expansive lawns, mature woodland, gardens, walking paths, privacy hedges & multiple outdoor gathering spaces. An enchanted walking trail winds through the mature woodland creating a peaceful, storybook setting for morning strolls, quiet reflection & year-round exploration. The impressive grounds are designed for year-round enjoyment, featuring a 22 × 14 ft. country-style pool, full collegiate basketball/pickleball court with stadium lighting, professional landscape lighting, outdoor rooms, a detached 28 × 12 ft. workshop well designed for storage with recessed lighting, a sports shed with power perfect for athetic equipment storage, carport & an extensive irrigation system with a 230+ ft. irrigation well with 58 sprinkler heads. Inside, warm wood finishes, generous windows & flexible living spaces create an inviting home designed for comfortable living & entertaining. The substantial kitchen provides plenty of room for gathering, while the flexible layout offers options for work, guests & relaxation. Major updates include a roof approximately 10 years old & windows approximately 8 years old. Fully alarmed with surveillance. More than a home, this is a private recreational environment that would be difficult & costly to recreate. Enjoy the feeling of a country retreat while remaining close to restaurants, shopping, waterfront attractions, downtown New Bedford & all the South Coast has to offer. Boston is now a train ride away, with MBTA Church Street Station approximately 2 miles from the property, providing access to South Coast Rail service toward Boston’s South Station. Spend the day working, dining, shopping, enjoying the waterfront or exploring Boston, then return home to your own acreage, trees, gardens, pool, recreation & enchanted woodland trail. PRIVATE WHEN YOU WANT IT. CONNECTED WHEN YOU NEED IT. A truly remarkable lifestyle property where comfort, recreation, nature & convenience come together.
