Step into history and modern comfort at the Nathan Fitch House, a charming residence perfectly blending classic New England character with thoughtful updates. Nestled on a generous half-acre lot in the heart of downtown Bedford, this home offers the rare combination of space, convenience, and timeless appeal. The beautiful porch welcomes you to step inside and discover more! We love the beautiful updated kitchen- it has a great island and a great layout- nicely open to the family room with vaulted ceilings and skylights. Beyond is another favorite spot- the bright sunroom also w/ beams and vaulted ceilings. A gracious and charming dining room and living room round out the main level. A stately staircase leads to the 2nd floor, which has a primary suite w/ private bath and dressing room. The 3rd floor is also finished- makes for a great office or bedroom! Best unexpected feature: enormous detached barn, w garage parking plus bonus space above w/ heat and AC. Welcome home!
