Description

Enter a living narrative at 16 Middle Street, the third oldest residence in Fairhaven. Built in 1774, the Rufus Allen Pump House still bears the scar of a British cannonball from the 1778 invasion. Once a maritime grocery, this Federal Antique offers a tangible connection to the town’s storied heritage. Spanning 2,000+ sq. ft., the interior is a masterclass in preservation, featuring seven fireplaces and a repointed center chimney. While its soul is historic, the home’s "heart" is modern: all systems...Enter a living narrative at 16 Middle Street, the third oldest residence in Fairhaven. Built in 1774, the Rufus Allen Pump House still bears the scar of a British cannonball from the 1778 invasion. Once a maritime grocery, this Federal Antique offers a tangible connection to the town’s storied heritage. Spanning 2,000+ sq. ft., the interior is a masterclass in preservation, featuring seven fireplaces and a repointed center chimney. While its soul is historic, the home’s "heart" is modern: all systems are under 20 years old, including radiant heated floors and a convection hot water loop. The home features an exterior westerly facing deck on all three floors overlooking the harbor. The exterior blends colonial charm with coastal luxury boasting a mahogany deck and a "crow’s nest" for salt air views. Protected by a Rhino Shield coating and located just a block from the waterfront, this 4-bedroom, 3-bath treasure is your chance to be the next steward of a genuine American legacy.
