Step into a piece of Fairhaven history, one of the towns oldest homes and an example of early American architecture. Built in 1774, the Rufus Allen Pump House is believed to be the third oldest residence in Fairhaven and still carries a visible reminder of its past-a scar from a British cannonball dating back to the 1778 invasion. With more than 2000 square feet of living space, you'll find 7 fireplaces, restored center chimney, heated floors and a convection hot water system, with all major systems being less than 20yrs old. Situated just one block from the waterfront, this 3 bedroom, 3 bath home is a truly special opportunity to own and preserve a remarkable piece of American History .First showing not until Sat. 9/6 Open House
