Listing broker remarks

Welcome to the meticulously maintained Joseph Arthur Beauvais House, built in 1883 and lovingly restored. This building is one of the finest office buildings in Downtown New Bedford. This preservation award-winning mansion was built in the Queen Anne Victorian style of architecture. The exterior is so inviting asking you to take in the details of the intricate brick work of the chimney, the granite steps and columns of the entrance. Inside, the house retains original architectural features, such as a grand quarter-sawn oak staircase with meticulous wood details, extensive decorative moldings, a stained-glass skylight, a second story balcony, 9 unique, custom fireplaces and spectacular panoramic views from the widow's walk. The rooms are spacious and well-proportioned, with high ceilings and large windows that allow for plenty of natural light. The 2 level Carriage house allows for extra parking or possible conversion to more living space. This stately property is zoned mixed use resi— Spellman & Malloch Realty LLC
